In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Apr 28, 2026), Samantha LaDuc explains that the pullback in semiconductors is largely profit-taking after an extended rally, with an OpenAI headline acting as the short-term trigger.
She highlights rising yields, a stronger dollar, and higher oil as macro headwinds, while noting key support levels like SPX 6950, where buyers may step in.
Overall, the move is framed as a healthy reversion within an uptrend, with markets now digesting gains ahead of major events like Fed decisions and big tech earnings.
