The U.S. stock markets closed on Friday with losses amid a broad decline in the artificial intelligence sector, after semiconductor stocks led the year's gains. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen 18% since the beginning of July, despite being up about 65% since the start of the year. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq dropped by 1.01% and 1.40%, respectively. Analyses suggest that the market appears exhausted from the rise in electronic chip stocks, and with some expectations of a slowdown in the sector's spending boom—approaching one trillion dollars—some investors are beginning to scale back their investments. The downturn in the chip sector has led to declines in major market indices, with limited gains in the energy sector amid rising tensions in the Iran war. The earnings season for companies continues, with most companies surpassing market expectations, though there are warnings of a potential slowdown in the artificial intelligence sector.
