The past week marked a historic moment for semiconductors, with chip stocks notching an unprecedented 18-consecutive-day winning streak. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surged 47% year-to-date, driven by Intel’s blockbuster forecast that sent shares past their dotcom-era peak. Technology regained leadership as investors piled into AI infrastructure plays, reversing earlier rotation into value sectors.
Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions intensified as the UAE announced its departure from OPEC, effective May 1st, adding volatility to energy markets. Oil briefly touched $100 per barrel before retreating, while the semiconductor euphoria overshadowed concerns about OpenAI missing internal revenue targets.
The market exhibited bifurcated behavior: growth and technology dominated, while defensives and industrials lagged on demand concerns. Small-caps pulled back after a strong April rally, suggesting profit-taking as investors consolidated gains heading into month-end.
