On September 1, Advanced Micro Devices fell 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $457.455/share, with turnover of $656 million. The decline came amid a broad semiconductor sector rout triggered by a global bond selloff that pushed long-term yields to multi-year highs.
On the macro front, the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield surged above 5.2%, its highest since 2007, while the 10-year yield approached 4.7%. Japan's 10-year government bond yield touched 3% for the first time since 1996. Rising oil prices, which broke above $91 per barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions, further stoked inflation concerns and rate-hike expectations. As a high-multiple growth name trading at roughly 119 times earnings, AMD is particularly sensitive to discount-rate repricing.
The broader semiconductor sector saw widespread losses: Intel fell 3.08%, Marvell Technology declined 4.21%, NVIDIA dropped 2.03%, Broadcom slid 2.01%, and Micron Technology lost 1.53%. Additionally, AMD's options market has exhibited persistent bearish signals since late August, including a notable $26.88 million dual put purchase and multiple bear put spreads, reflecting cautious positioning by institutional capital ahead of what is historically a weak seasonal month for the stock.
