What Happened in Markets Today
Chip stocks rose. The PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index ended more than 5% higher, clawing back some of its recent losses. Chip maker Intel was a standout, rising 8.6% ahead of its earnings report Thursday. Chip stocks have been under pressure lately as investors fret about low-cost Chinese AI models that look like strong performers. Their success could weaken demand for the expensive chips needed for cutting-edge models from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI. Chip stocks remain down about 3% in the past five trading days.
