AI Chip Stocks Drop as Market Rally Faces Key Test
Artificial intelligence chip and memory stocks are declining, dragging broader indexes lower. SanDisk, Micron, and Credo led losses following a report from the Wall Street Journal. Memory sector declines were sharp, with SanDisk falling 9%, Micron dropping 7%, and Western Digital sliding 5%.
