Semiconductor equities faced headwinds Tuesday as a significant global bond selloff propelled the 10-year Treasury yield to a multi-year peak of 4.8%. This macro environment is disproportionately affecting growth-oriented technology sectors, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) declining 2% and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) down 1%. The pressure is amplified by rising oil prices above $91 and reports of a Strait of Hormuz closure.
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) shares fell 3% to $86.68, leading the sector decline. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock was down 2% to $460.52, reversing some recent gains. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock slid 2% to $217.18, while Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) saw a 1% decrease to $364.81.
The surge in long-term yields is unwinding high valuations, with stocks that have seen substantial year-to-date gains, such as Intel's 143% and $AMD+WL's 120%, becoming prime targets for profit-taking amid a repricing of discount rates.
