U.S. equities delivered a mixed performance over the past week, with strength in AI‑linked cyclicals and the Dow offset by persistent volatility in mega‑cap tech and semis. Early in the week, global risk sentiment deteriorated after a steep KOSPI selloff in South Korea triggered profit‑taking in technology and semiconductor names, sending U.S. tech indices sharply lower. This violent reversal in the KOSPI and its knock‑on effects has pushed U.S. market sentiment into “Extreme Fear,” a stark shift from the “Greed” reading seen just one month ago. |
