Profit-taking appears to be weighing on semiconductors as the new quarter begins. Semiconductor stocks fell on the first day of Q3 after a record run in the second quarter. The report said Micron, Intel and AMD together added $2 trillion in market value in the quarter ended in June.
The move follows a powerful rally that left the group stretched, making any pause more vulnerable to portfolio rotation. Per market data, AMD closed at $580.91 on June 30, 2026, while INTC finished at $139.63 on the same day, and MU closed at $1,056.35 on July 1, 2026. Market data also showed NVDA closing at $199.575 on July 1, 2026, and TSM ending the session at $447.65 that same day.

At the July 1, 2026 close, MU was near $1,056.35 with an intraday range between $1,037.76 and $1,097, giving an initial read on volatility.
