- Micron stock slid as investors rotated out of chip stocks while the Dow opened higher, marking a divergence between the broad index and the semiconductor sector (WSJ, Barron's)
- Wall Street's flip from AI stocks to other sectors accelerated, with oil prices easing and S&P 500 futures trading muted as semiconductors dropped and earnings rolled in (Anchorage Daily News, Bloomberg)
Why it matters: Micron's slide—while the Dow opened higher—shows the selling is concentrated in semiconductors, not a broad market risk-off move, meaning investors are actively reallocating out of the year's biggest winners rather than fleeing equities wholesale.
