What Moved the Market
The SMH ETF tracks the performance of the MVIS US Listed Semiconductor 25 index. Recently, it has drawn considerable attention due to high-profile deals being conducted in the AI sector. The ETF is moving lower today, mostly due to the broader sell-off in chip stocks including Nvidia (NVDA), Intel (INTC), and Micron (MU).
Reports that the Trump administration is considering placing curbs on software exports to China have shaken investor confidence. These curbs could include products such as laptops, jet engines, and potentially tools involving advanced computing and artificial intelligence.
