## Key points

- Chip stocks rallied after weeks of selling.
- Nvidia fell 4.3% despite the sector rebound.
- The AI market’s longer-term recovery remains unproven.

## Summary

Chip shares rebounded sharply on Monday despite a fresh scandal involving Nvidia chief Jensen Huang, after weeks of heavy losses and a run of negative news for the AI sector. The rally may reflect investors buying after signs of intense selling and unusually high market stress, but it does not yet show that confidence in the AI-led bull market has returned.

The Nasdaq-100 rose 3.4% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index gained 7%, while Nvidia fell 4.3%. The Nasdaq-100 had become as oversold on some measures as during the March sell-off, and the VIX volatility index rose to 28 before falling below 20. The article also notes that semiconductor shares were down 17% since May and AI-chip company Cerebras had fallen from a high of $386 to $97, leaving the market’s longer-term outlook uncertain.
