Dow futures edge up 0.2% while semiconductor stocks weigh on tech sector before key economic releases.
U.S. stock futures traded mixed early Thursday as semiconductor stocks led declines. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), Sandisk (SNDK), and SK Hynix (SKHY) fell sharply, offsetting modest gains in Dow Jones Industrial Average futures, which rose 0.2%.
The tech sector’s weakness follows recent volatility in chipmakers, with TSMC and peers under pressure amid broader market uncertainty. Investors await upcoming economic data for further direction.
No immediate market reaction details were provided, but futures movements suggest cautious sentiment ahead of the opening bell.
