Summary · why it matters

Micron Technology and Intel led semiconductor stocks lower on Monday, extending the sector's selloff. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index slid about 1.2% in early trading, with Micron shares falling more than 3% and Intel declining roughly 2%. Other chip names including Advanced Micro Devices and Marvell Technology also traded in the red. The weakness persisted despite easing U.S.-Iran tensions that lifted broader market indices, as investors appeared to rotate out of chip stocks following a strong run, with some analysts citing profit-taking. Micron's decline followed a sharp drop on Friday after its earnings failed to impress, amid concerns about oversupply in the DRAM market and softening demand.
