SOXS.MX is trading 3.86% up as semiconductor shares extend their selloff, benefiting this inverse semiconductor ETF.
- The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell about 5%; NVIDIA, Micron, SanDisk, and Marvell declined sharply.
- Elevated Treasury yields, including the 30-year yield near 5.33%, are pressuring high-growth technology valuations; oil above $90 raises inflation concerns.
- The move appears sector-driven rather than company-specific amid US-Iran tensions, persistent bond-market pressure, and reduced risk appetite toward semiconductor valuations; traders await the Federal Reserveβs 2:00 PM minutes.
