  • Stocks Fall on Chipmaker Slump, Nasdaq Hits Two-Week Low
    June 26, 2026, 12:29 PM EDT. U.S. markets declined with the S&P 500 down 0.54% and Nasdaq 100 dropping 1.38%, pressured by a slump in chipmakers after South Korea's Kospi Index fell over 5%. Global chip stocks slid following weak sales from Samsung and SK Hynix. Commodities saw WTI crude oil prices drop more than 3%, easing inflation concerns and supporting bond prices. Treasury yields eased, with 10-year notes yield falling 0.8 basis points to 4.385%, supported by safe-haven demand. European bonds showed mixed moves amid softer ECB inflation expectations. China's Shanghai Composite and Japan's Nikkei also closed sharply lower. Market focus remains on a possible 25 basis point Fed rate hike in July, with futures pricing a 30% chance. Software shares provided some support amid overall market weakness.
