Market sentiment is mixed as technology and semiconductor stocks experience pressure from export restrictions, post-earnings pullbacks, and AI capital expenditure skepticism.

Meanwhile, selective opportunities in distressed valuations and regulatory news in cannabis provide focal points outside of tech.

Semiconductor and hardware names are under scrutiny due to export restrictions limiting major Nvidia shipments to China and sharp post-earnings declines in stocks such as Qualcomm.
