  • The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLK) is down 1.5%, S&P 500 IT Index is down 1.4%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is down 1% compared to the 1.4% drop for the S&P 500.

Nvidia -3.8% drops on its target cut at UBS and on the general Nasdaq weakness. Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN) -1.1% is down ahead of today’s aftermarket earnings report.
  • Hardware: Susquehanna’s note also hits hardware with NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) -4.8% and Seagate -1.6% among the decliners. HP -1.8% gets a sympathy drop despite this morning’s EU acquisition approval.
  • Network and Communications: Lumentum -4.6% and Finisar -2.4% are potentially still feeling the pressure from yesterday’s downside Coherent guidance, despite mentions in Stifel initiations this morning.
