US Sector ETFs Close Mostly Lower; Semiconductors Sink 3.98%
AI take
The dispersion is the story: a broad tech-and-transport selloff running alongside a clear rotation into defensives, with healthcare and biotech the only sectors gaining. Semiconductors leading the decline matters because they sit at the center of the AI and digital-asset infrastructure trade, so weakness there tends to spill into adjacent risk assets rather than stay contained. Whether this split persists or broadens into a market-wide drawdown is the open question.
