On October 30, VanEck Semiconductor ETF fell 4.37% in Pre-Market Trading to $537.196, with turnover of $4.0868 million.
The move came as semiconductor sentiment weakened after Nvidia faced additional U.S. antitrust scrutiny tied to its proposed Hugging Face acquisition, while the latest big-tech earnings failed to deliver the hoped-for lift to chip stocks despite still-elevated AI spending.
Recent market coverage showed semiconductor tracker products falling more than 3% in late trading and overnight as Nvidia’s deal drew Justice Department review over AI competition, with follow-up questions on its acquisition, investment, and sales practices. Separate reporting also noted that investors were increasingly concerned that strong cloud AI spending could accelerate in-house chip development at major technology companies, limiting upside for external suppliers even as demand remains solid.
