Compiled data shows that the $72 billion VanEck Semiconductor ETF has attracted over $430 million in inflows over the past three trading days, potentially marking its largest weekly inflow since early September. Some investors are even more aggressive; despite the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bullish 3x ETF, which has seen a nearly 21% drop this week, it still saw approximately $3.8 billion in inflows. For this $19 billion fund, this inflow is enough to set a new record for its largest weekly performance. However, the market backdrop is not optimistic. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen 12% over the past six trading days, wiping out approximately $1 trillion in market capitalization, due to continued investor concerns about artificial intelligence spending and increased global competition. Concerns about overvaluation and rising interest rates have further exacerbated the sectors volatility. Todd Sohn, chief ETF strategist at Baird Strategas, stated, "The semiconductor stock pullback has accelerated again, but this hasnt really dampened investor demand for leveraged buying on dips."

The USD/CHF pair has detected buying activity after dropping close to the round-level support of 0.9200 to begin the Asian session. In spite of the upbeat market sentiment, the Swiss franc extended its rebound above the immediate resistance level of 0.9200.

 

After a corrective move on Monday, S&P500 futures are displaying a mediocre performance as the markets fail to sustain a recovery. Long liquidation was the result of stocks' extended uptrend. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has reestablished its seven-month low at about 102.50, pushed by increased recession fears following a major dip in economic activity and less hawkish monetary policy predictions following a strong drop in wage inflation.

 

As investors' appetite for risk decreases once more, the demand for U.S. government bonds continues to decline. This has contributed to 10-year US Treasury yields exceeding 3.53 percent.

 

Tuesday's highlight will be Federal Reserve (Fed) chairman Jerome Powell's address, which will clarify the monetary policy decision for February. The remarks of Atlanta Fed bank president Raphael Bostic provide investors with a wealth of actionable information. A Fed policymaker forecasts that there will be no recession in CY2023, but has severely reduced GDP projections to 1%. He anticipates that interest rates will have to remain elevated until at least 2024.

 

On the subject of the Swiss currency, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will be compelled to maintain a modest monetary policy if the Real Retail Sales (Nov) data declines annually. The economic data decreased by 1.3%, when the consensus forecast predicted a 3.0% expansion.
