The semiconductor sector is facing a sharp correction as AMD and Marvell dropped over 8% following supply chain warnings that deepen the AI selloff. Intel also fell 7%, indicating broad weakness across chipmakers rather than isolated company issues. This suggests a potential demand destruction or supply bottleneck that contradicts the previous bullish AI capex narrative, pressuring the entire technology sector. Big Tech is facing intensifying regulatory and legal pressures. Meta has been ordered to pay a $25 billion fine in a data privacy case, while Apple's antitrust trial with the DOJ has hit a stalemate. Additionally, Google is facing lawsuits over privacy violations. These developments add structural bearishness to the tech sector, compounding the volatility from the semiconductor selloff.
