  • US Equities Weekly: AI Chip Stocks Drag Nasdaq Down Amid Mixed Market Performance
    June 27, 2026, 1:51 PM EDT. U.S. equities showed a mixed performance this week with the Dow rising 0.6% and the Russell 2000 up 1%, while the S&P 500 fell 2% and the Nasdaq dropped 4.6%. The semiconductor sector saw notable weakness, with the PHLX semiconductor index down 7.9%, driven by heavyweights rather than overall numbers, indicating concentrated pressure on AI-linked chip stocks. Equity fund outflows reached $3.53 billion, led by nearly $20 billion withdrawn from tech funds. Despite the declines, trading favored stock pickers with gains in Apple and Moderna. Inflation data showing a 4.1% year-over-year PCE increase keeps the Federal Reserve on hold but cautious, as markets debate future rate moves ahead of June payrolls data.
