Chip sector rebound faces test as Nvidia tumbles

What happened

Reports say Nvidia’s board is weighing the future of CEO Jensen Huang. Nvidia fell more than 8% in premarket trading Thursday, while the PHLX Semiconductor ETF fell more than 2.5%. The semiconductor index had rebounded over four sessions before stalling below a major resistance cluster.

Global impact / market context

Nvidia’s sharp fall and uncertainty around its leadership can weigh on other chip shares because the article says the reports rattled AI-related stocks across the sector. If that weakness continues, it may undermine the rebound and make it harder for chip companies’ shares to recover.

Analyst inference

The semiconductor index had fallen 38.4% from its June 22 peak to a November 5 low, then rose for four sessions. The recovery stalled below resistance near 10,867–10,869, while the article identifies 9,976 as an important downside level.
