Semiconductor stocks slide into bear market, BofA flags a reset
MarketWatch reports Bank of America says the semiconductor sector often underperforms in the third quarter amid the current reset.
Chip stocks have entered a bear market, signaling weakness across the semiconductor sector, according to MarketWatch.
The outlet says Bank of America characterizes the move as part of a broader sector reset and notes that semiconductors have a tendency to lag during the third quarter.
MarketWatch also frames the call as a caution not to overreact to the near term, emphasizing that the sector’s recent pattern has shown weakness later in the year.
