Chip Complex Cracks as Intel, AMD Slide 4% Despite Relief in Long-End Yields
Semiconductor selloff decouples from rates narrative while cybersecurity leaders CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks extend declines, signalling broad de-risking in 2026's most crowded growth trades
Intel and AMD each fell roughly 4% and NVIDIA finished flat as the semiconductor complex sold off even as Treasury long-end pressure eased, breaking the rates-driven correlation that has governed tech leadership. CrowdStrike sank 7% despite a Truist price target increase to $245, with Palo Alto Networks off 5%, evidence that positioning — not discount rates — is now the dominant driver.
