- AI and chip stocks slumped worldwide, with the selloff dragging Wall Street lower and offsetting otherwise solid earnings per AP News and Honolulu Star-Advertiser coverage
- TSMC earnings triggered the chip-stock slide, sending the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down while the Dow rose in divergent trading, according to Yahoo Finance
Why it matters: The Dow-Nasdaq divergence shows the selling was concentrated in the chip/AI complex, not a broad market retreat — TSMC's results are a bellwether for AI hardware demand, and a weak read there ripples through every chipmaker and AI-infrastructure name on the index.
