The semiconductor sector is bucking the broader market decline, led by ASML's massive earnings beat and NVIDIA's announcement of new CUDA-X AI tools that accelerate chip simulation by up to 30x. Intel's deployment of High-NA EUV technology and Samsung's 2028 production targets confirm a robust, multi-year capex cycle in chipmaking. These developments provide a strong fundamental tailwind for the tech sector, isolating it from the macro-driven sell-off affecting banks and consumer discretionary assets.
