The declines come after a blistering rally in the sector that’s spanned roughly eight weeks, boosted by solid earnings from megacap technology hyperscalers, a slew of deals for the cohort and investor enthusiasm in the risk-on trade as high demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure persists. The SOX gained nearly 60% from the start of April through a May 11 record high.
