Chip stocks slipped after the U.S.-China summit ended without major technology deals, signaling cautious investor sentiment toward the sector even as a handful of tech names showed mixed moves during the session; broader semiconductor-related instruments traded lower in a risk-off atmosphere as markets digested limited progress and potential policy implications.
AI chip stocks including INTC, NVDA, and AMD rose in premarket trading on May 13, 2026, as investors grew more optimistic about AI demand and global trade sentiment, boosted by expectations that President Trump’s visit could help semiconductor sales in China. Nvidia, Intel, and AMD rose roughly 2% or more, QCOM around 4%, with MU and SNDK also higher. The rally reflects expectations of stronger data-center and cloud spending on AI, but risks remain from elevated valuations and potential geopolitical tensions; UBS remains bullish on the long-term AI investment trend.
Micron (MU) erased roughly $100 billion in market value at Tuesday’s low, but buyers quickly stepped in, turning what looked like a major breakdown into a test of demand near the $700 area and helping lift peers in the chip sector as memory supply tightens and AI-memory bets stay in focus. The rebound spread through the semiconductor group, with names like NVDA, AVGO, TXN, ADI, ON, and STX rallying as traders weigh whether MU can hold the key $700 level. Analysts remain bullish, with a Strong Buy consensus and an average price target around $608.33 per share.
Chip stocks that led the rally are showing weakness as traders rotate out of winners: notable decliners include Teradyne (~5.4%), Applied Materials (~5.9%), and NXPI (~2.7%), while other indices and tech names posted mixed moves (Spotify down about 12%, Enphase ~2.7% lower, etc.). The snapshot signals a cooling of the recent chip-led run and renewed market volatility as investors reprice risk across equities.
Nvidia shares rise in pre-market trading after Beijing approves the first imports of its H200 AI chips, signaling China’s push to balance AI demand with domestic chip development; the initial batch targets major internet firms, with quotas on foreign purchases, underscoring Nvidia’s leadership in AI accelerators.
U.S. stocks rose on Wednesday, led by chip stocks like AMD and Nvidia, after AMD forecasted significant AI-driven revenue growth and upbeat earnings boosted tech shares amid optimism about AI spending and a potential government shutdown resolution.
Semiconductor stocks, including AMD, Nvidia, Intel, and Broadcom, rallied sharply following signs of progress in US-China trade negotiations, which analysts believe could trigger a tech sector rebound and boost investor confidence amid ongoing trade tensions. The rally extended to equipment and software makers, with positive analyst outlooks suggesting a potential turning point for the industry.
Chip stocks surged after President Trump announced exemptions from tariffs for U.S. investments in chip manufacturing, benefiting companies like TSMC, GlobalFoundries, and Texas Instruments, while Intel's stock fell following criticism of its CEO's Chinese ties. The move aims to boost U.S. semiconductor production and investment, with major companies pledging significant investments, including Apple.
Stock markets declined due to weak earnings reports from chipmakers and other companies, with notable drops in NXP Semiconductors and General Motors, amid mixed economic data and ongoing trade tensions. Despite some positive earnings in homebuilding and defense sectors, overall investor sentiment was cautious, influenced by global trade concerns and Federal Reserve outlooks.
Most Asian stocks rose following Wall Street's gains, with Australian markets reaching record highs, while Japan lagged due to persistent inflation concerns and trade tensions. TSMC reported strong Q2 earnings but expressed caution over U.S. trade tariffs impacting chip demand, leading to mixed reactions in the broader Asian chip sector.
Stocks experienced mixed movements with the S&P 500 slightly down, while the Nasdaq 100 was pressured by weak chip stocks following disappointing guidance from ASML. Support came from positive PPI and earnings reports, but concerns about potential firing of Fed Chair Powell, after reports of President Trump discussing his removal, added uncertainty. Economic data showed some signs of easing inflation and stronger industrial production, influencing market sentiment.
Major indexes rose on June 3, 2025, driven by gains in chip stocks led by Nvidia, with the Nasdaq returning to positive territory for 2025; investors are optimistic about trade negotiations and corporate earnings despite geopolitical tensions and tariff concerns.
Chip stocks, including Nvidia, Intel, and TSMC, dragged down the Nasdaq despite gains in the Dow Jones and S&P 500. The decline follows reports that the U.S. has ordered TSMC to halt shipments of advanced AI chips to China, citing export restrictions. This move is part of ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China over technology and trade, which could escalate with former President Donald Trump's return to the White House. Meanwhile, the Dow and S&P 500 rose amid a post-election rally.
Global chip stocks, including ASML, Nvidia, and TSMC, fell sharply due to reports of potential tighter U.S. export restrictions and geopolitical tensions exacerbated by comments from former President Donald Trump. The Biden administration is considering a crackdown on companies exporting chipmaking equipment to China, which could significantly impact firms like ASML that have substantial sales in China. Trump's remarks about Taiwan and U.S. defense commitments further added to the negative sentiment in the semiconductor market.
Analysts recommend NVIDIA, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Broadcom as top chip stocks to invest in due to their strong performance driven by the AI revolution. NVIDIA is highlighted for its dominance in AI, while TSM offers broad-based exposure despite geopolitical risks. Broadcom is noted for its role in virtual networks and infrastructure. Other notable mentions include AMD, Marvell, and Micron Technology.
