Although the Dow Jones index rose slightly, tech stocks, particularly those in semiconductors and artificial intelligence-related sectors, faced heavy selling pressure. Stocks in semiconductors, memory, and AI infrastructure experienced sharp declines, affecting a wide range of companies including chip manufacturers, internet firms, and data center-related enterprises. Investors took profits and turned to defensive stocks in retail, consumer goods, payments, and transportation sectors. Retailers such as Dollar Tree, Walmart, Target, and Costco performed strongly. Nvidia will release its financial report after the close on Wednesday.
