SOXQ is trading 1.75% lower as investors reduce technology exposure ahead of the August 12, 2026 CPI report.

  • SOXQ reversed its pre-market strength. Nasdaq Composite is also down, while elevated Treasury yields and defensive positioning pressure high-growth semiconductor shares.
  • AI infrastructure and memory-demand expectations remain supportive, but are not offsetting near-term profit-taking after Friday’s rally.
  • Information technology led the prior week’s gains, increasing reversal risk.
