U.S. Tech ETFs Rally: U.S. tech ETFs, particularly semiconductor-focused ones, surged following a lower-than-expected inflation rate of 2.7% year-over-year, which eased concerns about rising Treasury yields and supported long-duration growth assets.
Semiconductor Sector Gains: The VanEck Semiconductor ETF and iShares Semiconductor ETF saw significant gains, driven by strong earnings from Micron Technology and optimism surrounding AI demand, as well as the belief that easing inflation allows the Federal Reserve to support growth.
Broader Market Impact: Nasdaq-linked ETFs also benefited from lower yields, enhancing valuations for major tech companies like Apple and Microsoft, while growth-oriented funds gained traction as investor appetite for long-term cash flow companies increased.
Valuation Concerns: Despite the positive momentum, there are concerns about the sustainability of semiconductor ETF gains, leading some investors to adopt hedging strategies to mitigate potential downside risks if inflation and earnings trends shift negatively.
