S&P 500 Slightly Declines as Chip Stock Drop Offsets Yield Decline

The S&P 500 edged lower on Monday, with a decline in key technology stocks offsetting a decrease in Treasury yields.

The broader market index decreased by 0.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.5%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose slightly, gaining 32 points, or 0.1%.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) also fell nearly 2%.

Other technology stocks also saw declines. Coherent and Lumentum each fell 5%, along with SanDisk. Corning decreased nearly 3%, and Seagate Technology declined almost 4%.
