Semiconductor Sell-Off Drives Wall Street Lower
United States equity markets retreated as investors heavily sold off chip-related shares, pulling major indices down by the closing bell. According to market updates published by De Telegraaf, the downward pressure on semiconductor makers set a cautious tone across international trading floors. The technology-heavy sell-off quickly spilled over into European markets, where regional indices followed the negative momentum from the American session.

In Amsterdam, the AEX index mirrored the global tech retreat, closing down 0.6 percent. Trading updates from financial platforms including IEX.nl and Beursgorilla.nl noted that local market sentiment remained anxious, weighed down not only by the chip sector correction but also by persistent concerns over elevated interest rates.
