SMH ETF flows point to AI chip trade moving away from Nvidia

SMH ETF flows point to AI chip trade moving away from Nvidia

The VanEck Semiconductor ETF saw nearly $7 billion pour in on Monday, the biggest sign yet of investors looking beyond just Nvidia and into a basket of chip suppliers. That flow is making its mark. Semiconductor stocks climbed on the day, while the big tech names dragged the Nasdaq lower. The timing is key. LSEG Lipper data said U.S. equity funds picked up $38.37 billion for the week ended June 17, the biggest since November 2024. Technology sector funds got a record $21.46 billion in the same period. SMH’s one-day creation made up about a third of those tech inflows, showing just how much the AI trade is passing through a handful of ETFs.

Alphabet Faces Pressure as Google Stock Drops on $85 Billion Share Sale and AI Talent Outflows

Alphabet Faces Pressure as Google Stock Drops on $85 Billion Share Sale and AI Talent Outflows

Alphabet Class A shares dropped in late morning Nasdaq trade Monday after Citizens gave new support to the stock. Investors focused on Google’s losses in AI staff and the cost of its data-center expansion. Shares changed hands at $347.53, off $20.50. Market focus is shifting now as Alphabet’s top line keeps moving up. First-quarter revenue was $109.9 billion, up 22%, and Google Cloud pulled in $20.0 billion, a gain of 63%. The big question for investors: How much cash, stock or headcount will Alphabet need to keep those numbers growing with OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft and Amazon pushing hard in AI?

Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) rises as Caterpillar, Visa lift blue chips while Nasdaq slips

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose on Monday morning, beating the broader S&P 500 and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite, as industrial and financial shares did more of the work than the headline index move suggested. LSEG data on Reuters showed the Dow up 214.78 points, or 0.42%, at 51,779.48, while the S&P 500 was up 0.11% and the Nasdaq was down 0.40%; the figures were delayed by at least 15 minutes. The session mattered because U.S. shares reopened into regular trading after Friday’s Juneteenth closure, with investors trying to decide whether easing Middle East risk can hold down oil prices and inflation pressure. The NYSE lists Juneteenth National Independence Day as a Friday, June 19 market holiday in 2026, and its core cash-equity session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.

Alphabet edges lower with shares near $362 after Gemini engineer Shazeer goes to OpenAI

Alphabet Class A lost 0.42% to $362.26 in premarket trading Thursday. Noam Shazeer, a top leader for Google’s Gemini AI, is going to OpenAI. “Incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google,” Shazeer said. Google called his work “meaningful.” Google reportedly paid $2.7 billion less than two years ago to bring Shazeer and his group back. Gemini is central now as Alphabet tries to protect Search and boost its cloud business, even as it pours cash into a bigger AI push. Alphabet this month raised its planned equity sales to $84.75 billion and kept its 2026 capex targets between $180 billion and $190 billion. Capex covers data centers, chips and other large assets.

Big Tech Trades Lower With SpaceX IPO and Fed In Focus

Big Tech Trades Lower With SpaceX IPO and Fed In Focus

Big Tech shares closed out a choppy week with uneven moves. The S&P 500 ended up 0.5% on Friday, putting it up 0.6% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.3% for the day and 0.7% for the week, according to Associated Press data. Inside the megacap group, Tesla jumped 1.8% on Friday, and both Alphabet and Nvidia posted small gains. Amazon, Apple and Meta slipped. Stocks move higher when investors see more profit ahead or lower risks. They fall when those views reverse. Positioning is the main reason the Magnificent Seven lagged. According to Reuters and a JPMorgan note, hedge funds dumped the biggest U.S. tech names and took on more short bets before SpaceX’s IPO. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF, which tracks the group, dropped more than 2.4% since June 5. The Nasdaq still ended the week up. Selling pressure from funds weighed on these popular stocks, even without new bad news from the companies.

Intel Drops as Chip Selloff Hits Shares Despite Google AI Bid Hopes

Intel Drops as Chip Selloff Hits Shares Despite Google AI Bid Hopes

Intel shares slipped Wednesday, with the stock pulled in different directions by a reported Google order and selling in AI chip names. The Google deal could back Intel’s foundry move, but the broader selloff in AI-tied semi stocks weighed. Intel last traded at $107.04, off $0.88, after a volatile day. The drop was small against the wider hit to chips. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index sank 3.6% Wednesday, led lower by Nvidia and Broadcom. According to Reuters, investors booked gains in tech and raised flags on high valuations, inflation, and U.S.-Iran worries.
