Momentum ETF Rebounds After 10% Correction as Chipmakers Recover on Buy-the-Dip Calls

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jul 8

Summary

  • MTUM rose 0.4% by 12:30 p.m. ET after sliding more than 10% from its June 22 high to Wednesday's open, while Broadcom jumped 6% and most major chipmakers turned green early.
  • UBS, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank traders said the selloff looked like an orderly momentum unwind rather than panic, citing intact AI and memory demand, profit-taking and concentrated outflows from trend-following strategies.
  • Samsung's revenue miss and Amazon's comment that it would issue no more debt this year helped deepen the memory-stock drop, though JPMorgan said Tuesday may have marked the bottom and urged investors to buy the dip.
  • Wall Street still sees risks from elevated earnings expectations, with Vital Knowledge calling the market's reaction to Samsung a red flag and UBS pointing to SK Hynix's planned 18 million-share U.S. listing as the next catalyst.
