Micron Technology Falls 10.6%, Sandisk Drops 10.6%, Intel Loses 9% — Semiconductor Rout Wipes Out $1T+ in One Session

Micron Technology and Sandisk each plunged more than 10.6% Wednesday while AMD fell 6.9% and Intel sank 9%, as profit-taking in the AI-chip complex erased more than $1 trillion in semiconductor market value. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF lost 5.4%. South Korea's Kospi collapsed 7.89% overnight in response, with SK Hynix down over 12%. Analysts attributed the selloff to valuation fatigue after the sector's extraordinary first-half run rather than any fundamental deterioration.

AI Stocks Rebound as Risk Appetite Returns: NVDA Surges on 125M-Share Volume, ARM Reverses 5% Decline
