Executive Summary

Market color: Tech-heavy Nasdaq sold off sharply (QQQ -1.7%) while the S&P 500 held nearly flat (SPY -0.1%), as an Invesco analyst declaration that the broad AI trade is over triggered a sector-wide semiconductor rout. AI memory/storage glut fears, photonics stock resets, and cooling AI demand narratives drove the worst losses across semi, semi-cap, and optical names.
Market: SPY -0.1%, QQQ -1.7%. Top mover SCCO +1.9%; worst KLAC -11.5%.
Sector flow: Storage led with avg -10.2% across 2 names (options bias: bearish (2/2)).
Options tape: 11 bullish vs 19 bearish names — tilted bearish.
Next catalyst: Non-Farm Payrolls (Jul) in 2d (2026-07-05).
