S&P 500 gains 2.3% for the week; Nasdaq 100 rises 3.7%
The week's leadership was narrow and unmistakably semiconductor-driven, with the memory-chip and Philadelphia semiconductor gauges outpacing the major averages by a wide margin — a sign that AI-infrastructure demand, not broad market breadth, carried the tape. Friday's pullback in Nebius, AMD, CoreWeave and SanDisk shows how quickly that leadership can reverse, with the same high-beta names that led the rally absorbing the sharpest losses. The open question is whether chip strength broadens into the wider index or remains a concentrated trade vulnerable to single-session reversals.
