US NASDAQ 100 Index

 The Nasdaq Composite fell ~1.9% on Monday, its biggest one-day decline since late June, as investors were hit by a combination of renewed AI concerns and escalating geopolitical tensions. The initial catalyst came from Asia, where SK Hynix plunged 15.4% in Seoul, its worst session in 18 years, triggering a broader semiconductor sell-off. US-listed SK Hynix fell -9%, while Micron (-5%), Sandisk (-8%) and Intel (-4.1%) also declined sharply. The selling extended to the Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM), which entered bear market territory after falling almost 30% from its late-June peak, highlighting how quickly sentiment has turned in one of this year's hottest AI trades.

There was also a sharp reversal in the previously unloved software stocks helping push the broader tech sector higher. As subscribers know MM believes the market had become way too bearish around the “AI Disruption Trade.” We believe AI will indeed reshape industry over the coming years but some companies that the market are priced for disruption will actually become beneficiaries, and vice versa.

Shawn’s Trade Idea: BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (NDQ)

We exited the NDQ in late May above $50, intending to re-enter during a pullback this month. The Israel-Iran conflict may have afforded us the opportunity. We like the risk/reward ~3.5% below Friday's close. The NASDAQ futures have opened down less than 1% this morning, which means we need ongoing weakness to get set.
