🟢 Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) is trading 1.6% up today on surging South Korean semiconductor exports

SOXX is trading at $537.90, up +1.61%, as South Korean semiconductor exports surged 155.4% year over year during August 1–10.

• Rising DRAM export prices are strengthening expectations for robust memory-chip earnings and sustaining AI-server demand.
• The rally is partly a rebound from SOXX’s 2.55% decline on August 10.
• Gains are sector-specific: broader markets are mixed, while elevated oil prices, higher Treasury yields, and Wednesday’s CPI report remain headwinds.
