U.S. stocks were mixed Tuesday as semiconductor shares sold off sharply, sending the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) lower and weighing on the Nasdaq 100. Micron fell 9.5%, Corning dropped 8.9%, and NVIDIA declined 3.2%. The Nasdaq 100 slid 2.4% to 29,608, while the S&P 500 fell 0.9% and the Dow edged up 0.2%. Traders also questioned whether the AI trade has become overextended, with risk-off positioning intensifying ahead of Micron’s earnings.
