TREE NEWS reports: JPMorgan global markets strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou and his team said the recent decline in semiconductors shows most long positions, including those of momentum investors, have been closed out. While near-term headwinds persist, that positioning adjustment may have limited further downside, the team said. JPMorgan also flagged financing risk at new cloud companies, arguing strong demand for computing resources could let them pass higher financing costs to end customers.
JPMorgan says semiconductor selloff may be nearing end as longs unwound
The signal here is positioning, not fundamentals: JPMorgan is arguing the mechanical pressure from unwound longs has largely played out, which matters more for near-term volatility than for the sector's demand story. The quieter point is the financing-risk flag for newer cloud entrants — if compute demand stays strong enough to pass costs through, that cushions a channel that has been a source of stress. Whether momentum positioning is genuinely clean, and whether cloud pricing power holds as financing conditions tighten, are the open questions worth tracking.
