Trader’s Edge (7 Mar 2025) - Trade Tension Batters US Equities; BNM Keeps OPR at 3.0%
The Nasdaq has fallen nearly 10% in two weeks, with chip stocks facing heavy short-selling.
In yesterday's Nasdaq crash, chip stocks led the decline, with the PHLX Semiconductor Index plummeting by 4.5%. Short sellers are aggressively shorting Technology stocks, pushing the shorting costs for the VanEck Semiconductor ETF to this year's highest point. The market is worried that Trump's trade disputes, stubborn inflation in the USA, and large-scale layoffs dominated by DOGE could trigger a recession or even stagflation in the USA. Additionally, the improvement of AI capabilities in China has sparked market concerns about the future demand for chips.
