Shares of semiconductor and chip stocks are trading higher as investors assess US-China trade progress and Saudi Arabia deals.

Wall Street opened Tuesday with cautious gains after inflation data for April came in cooler than expected, calming investor concerns over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45374267/inflation-eases-in-april-as-trumps-tariffs-dont-push-prices-higher">tariff-driven price spikes. </a>
April's inflation report showed consumer prices rising 2.3% year over year, slightly below the 2.4% forecast and down from the previous month's reading of 2.4%. On a monthly basis, prices increased 0.2%, rebounding from March's 0.1% decline but missing expectations of a 0.3% gain.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, held steady at 2.8% annually—matching both March&#8217;s figure and economists' forecasts. Month over month, core prices rose 0.2%, a modest acceleration from March's 0.1% increase but still softer than the expected 0.3%.
Shelter remained a major contributor to inflation, rising 0.3% in April and accounting for over half of the monthly increase in the overall Consumer Price Index. Meanwhile, several categories posted price declines, including airline fares, used cars and trucks, communication services and apparel.
Despite inflation coming in below forecasts, expectations for interest rate cuts held steady. Traders still see just an 8% chance of a cut in June, rising to 38% for July. Markets continue to price in a total of 60 basis points in rate reductions by year-end, well below the almost 75 basis points priced a week ago.
The Nasdaq 100 led major benchmarks, rising 0.37% and on track to open at its highest level in 10 weeks.

Wall Street Climbs As Inflation Cools, Nasdaq 100 Hits 10-Week Highs

Shares of chip stocks are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility.

Move over, dividends &#8211; corporate America is in love with itself again. According to JPMorgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, U.S. corporate share buybacks surged in April, marking the strongest monthly pace in years and reinforcing their role as a stabilizing force <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/volatility">in volatile markets</a>.
May has kicked off with a fresh surge of stock buyback announcements, and it's not just a sprinkle &#8211; it's a full-blown cash confetti storm. Repurchase plans announced since April 1 now add up to $262 billion, suggesting companies are favoring ploughing extra cash into buybacks over, say, dividend payments.
Panigirtzoglou notes that this contrarian pattern &#8211; where buybacks ramp up following equity market corrections &#8211; was similarly evident during the Silicon Valley Bank crisis two years ago (the SVB collapsed in March 2023) and the early stages of the Ukraine war.
He notes that corporate repurchases complemented a rebound in equity-focused hedge fund positioning, which had previously de-risked in February and March, further amplifying April&#8217;s V-shaped equity recovery.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple, Alphabet, Wells Fargo Leading Corporate Buybacks</h2>
Leading the parade is Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), flexing its financial muscles with a jaw-dropping $100 billion buyback—because, apparently, having a $2.7 trillion market cap wasn't enough self-confidence. This is no fluke; it's an "additional" buyback, which means Apple's just topping off a long-standing habit of hoarding its own stock like it&#8217;s going out of style.
Hot on its heels is Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) with a $70 billion share repurchase. Google may have axed cookies, but it's still baking up returns for shareholders in bulk.
Not to be outdone, Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) is pouring $40 billion into its own stock. After years of reputational rehab, the bank seems ready to bet on itself &#8211; in a very big way.
And it&#8217;s not just the mega-caps feeling themselves. KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) dropped a $5 billion mic, Dick's Sporting Goods Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) entered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44246625/dicks-sporting-beats-q4-earnings-stock-falls-amid-soft-outlook">game with $3 billion</a>, and Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) is scooping up $3.5 billion of its shares &#8211; proving oil profits aren't just for gas stations and exec bonuses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tech&#8217;s Buyback Binge</h2>
Tech is clearly in a buyback binge: Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/04/44674899/broadcom-stock-jumps-on-10-billion-buyback-authorization">announced $10 billion</a> in early April, and Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) followed suit with its own <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/03/44218819/applied-materials-hikes-dividend-for-8th-year-greenlights-10-billion-buyback-to-reward-investors">$10 billion plan</a>. 
Meanwhile, Align Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>) flashed its smile with a fresh $1 billion authorization, maybe to offset Invisalign's market volatility.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Stocks &#8211; Not Far Behind</h2>
There's also action in the consumer and industrial space. Graphic Packaging Holding Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPK#NYSE">GPK</a>), Ingersoll Rand Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IR#NYSE">IR</a>), and Cirrus Logic Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRUS#NASDAQ">CRUS</a>) all made $500 million–$1.5 billion commitments. 
Even MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) got in on the game with a $2 billion plan &#8211; perhaps betting on itself while its visitors bet on the slots.
The pattern is clear: buybacks are back with a vengeance. Whether it&#8217;s to boost EPS, signal confidence, or fend off activist investors, companies are scooping up shares at a pace that has investors sitting up &#8211; and short sellers sweating.
Bottom line? When the biggest names in business are buying their own stock, it might be time for investors to take notice—before the buyback wave pushes prices even higher.

Shares of chip stocks are trading higher amid overall market strength on reports indicating China is assessing US trade talks. Additionally, jobs data may be easing some market fears. NVIDIA shares rose on reports indicating the company is working on China-tailored chips.

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been udpated to correct the Stock Movers list.
Wall Street pushed higher in midday trading, with the S&amp;P 500 on track for its eighth consecutive gain — its longest winning streak since November 2023. The index rose about 1% to 5,560, fully recovering the losses sustained after former President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade tariffs on April 2.</a>
Technology stocks led the rally, with the Nasdaq 100 climbing 1.5%. Strong and resilient corporate earnings continue to fuel investor appetite for risk, helping markets shrug off recent tariff concerns.
President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going "very well" and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.
On the economic front, data continued to paint a weaker picture. After Wednesday's disappointing first-quarter GDP report, the ISM manufacturing PMI showed factory activity contracted for the second straight month in April. Meanwhile, price pressures surged at the fastest pace since June 2022, reflecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">inflationary effects from tariffs.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) was a standout gainer, soaring 8.60% after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI. The stock reached its highest level since late January.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also topped estimates, with shares climbing more than 4%.
Sector-wise, technology outperformed, while health care lagged. Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) plunged over 9% after the pharmaceutical giant cut its 2025 guidance.
Crude oil erased early losses, rebounding to $58 per barrel after briefly dipping below $57. Gold slipped 2.2% to a two-week low.
The U.S. dollar strengthened to its highest level in over two weeks, bolstered by manufacturing surveys showing rising input costs tied to tariffs.
Treasury yields climbed for a second straight session, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.21%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past the $97,000 mark, hitting its highest level in over two months.

Cues From Last Session:
Wednesday was a mixed bag for S&amp;P 500 sectors, with healthcare, industrials, and consumer staples posting good gains, while the energy segment dropped 2.70% on dropping crude oil prices and growing concerns of a recession following the latest GDP figures.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.35% during the day, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was down marginally, by 0.086%.
The markets were rattled by disappointing economic data during the session, particularly the GDP figures at -0.3%, down from 2.4% last year, and against a consensus estimate of 0.4%. Besides this, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index came in at 2.3%, ahead of estimates at 2.2%, thwarting any possibility of a rate cut in May.
As of Tuesday, the Nasdaq 100 index was down 11.93% from its previous high of 22,222.61 points. The S&amp;P 500 index was 9.40% lower, as compared to the last record high of 6,147.43 points. On the other hand, Dow Jones was down 9.77% from its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points.
The Dow Jones index jumped 141 points or 0.35% to 40,669.36, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index surged 0.15% to 5,569.06. Nasdaq Composite ended 0.086% lower at 17,446.34, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, was down 0.63%, trading at 1,964.12.

Ryan Detrick, a Chartered Market Technician, posted on X that markets shouldn&#8217;t be overly worried about the first-quarter GDP contraction, attributing the decline to companies front-loading imports to get ahead of upcoming tariffs.

Detrick notes that final demand has slowed, but is still &#8220;fairly solid.&#8221; The &#8220;Bottom Line,&#8221; he says, is that the economy slowed ahead of the tariffs, but this isn&#8217;t a recession.

Benzinga Pro의 독점 뉴스 및 도구로 수익률을 높이세요.
독점 속보 및 스캐너와 같은 Benzinga Pro의 강력한 도구 세트로 다른 트레이더보다 우위를 점하세요. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?t=be2bewe5mibe3bz3&amp;utm_source=bz-kor">여기를 클릭</a>하여 14일 무료 체험을 시작하세요.

반도체 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">섹터</a>가 변화의 바람을 맞이하고 있고, JP모건의 할란 서(Harlan Sur)는 이를 명확히 전달하고 있다. &#8220;결과는 예상에 부합하겠지만, 관세/무역 관련 역학이 약한 2분기/하반기 25와 부정적인 이익 수정 사이클을 이끌 것&#8221;이라고 말했다. 이는 월스트리트에서의 &#8216;준비하라&#8217;는 의미로, 상황이 험난해질 것이라는 예고이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">관세 문제: 15-25% 주당순이익 감소 예고?</h2>
1분기 실적이 발표되기 시작하면서, 서는 시장이 &#8220;부정적인 이익 수정 사이클의 시작을 준비해야 한다&#8221;고 말하며, 향후 몇 분기 동안 주당순이익(주당순이익) 추정치가 15-25% 줄어들 가능성이 있다고 경고했다. 약 25%의 관세로 인한 하락 이후 반도체 주식들이 바닥에 이미 도달했기를 바라는 투자자들은 또 다른 충격을 받을 수 있다. 서는 여기서 추가로 10-15% 하락할 것으로 보고 있다.
하지만 이것은 단순히 숫자에 관한 문제가 아니다. 더 큰 우려는 신뢰 문제, 즉 신뢰가 부족하다는 점이다. &#8220;빠르게 변화하는 관세 뉴스는 소비자와 기업 신뢰에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있다&#8221;고 서가 언급하며, 20-30%의 가이던스를 차지할 수 있는 기업들이 이제는 가시성 감소로 위험에 처해 있다고 말했다. 여기에 중국의 미국산 칩에 대한 최신 관세 공격이 더해지면서, 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), 텍사스 인스트루먼트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), 코보(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>) 및 스카이웍스 솔루션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) 등은 갑자기 노출 위험에 처하게 되었다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI와 데이터 센터: 유일한 밝은 점</h2>
그렇긴 해도, JP모건은 전체 반도체 바구니를 버리지 않는다. 서는 &#8220;선별적인&#8221; 접근을 권장하며, 브로드컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), 마벨 테크놀로지스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) 그리고 아날로그 디바이시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>)를 AI와 데이터 인프라와 밀접하게 연결된 최고의 선택으로 주목하고 있다. 이러한 회사들은 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)와 어드밴스드 마이크로 디바이시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)와 같은 GPU 거대 기업들이 중국 규제 강화 및 &#8220;다가오는 AI 확산 규정&#8221;으로 인해 잠재적인 단점에 직면하더라도 &#8220;가속화된 컴퓨팅/AI에 대한 강력한 수요&#8221;를 이용할 수 있는 최적의 위치에 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EDA, 반도체 장비: 경기 하락에 강한 인기 상품</h2>
업계 도구 코너에서는 KLA(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>)와 시높시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>)도 JPM의 승인을 받았다. 시높시스와 같은 EDA 업체는 회복력이 있는 것으로 평가된다. &#8220;R&amp;D 예산은 경기가 하락할 때 줄어들지 않는다&#8221;고 서가 말하며, 반도체 설계 소프트웨어에 장기 투자하는 모든 이들이 모니터에 붙여야 할 만트라다.
한편, 2025년 WFE(웨이퍼 제조 장비)에 대한 &#8220;보합 또는 하락&#8221; 전망은 반도체 장비 회사들에 대한 추가적인 주의를 의미하지만, JP모건은 여전히 어플라이드 머티리얼즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), KLA Corp 및 램 리서치(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>)를 선호하며, 이들은 &#8220;자본 집약도 상승&#8221;과 서비스 수익 증가 덕분에 우수한 성과를 낼 것으로 예상된다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">하강 사이클 플레이북 순간이 도래</h2>
거시적 배경은 여전히 위태롭다. JPM 경제학자들은 현재 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">미국의 경기 침체 확률을 60%</a>로 평가하고 있으며, 관세 폭풍 구름이 무겁게 드리워져 있다. 스마트폰 수요 증가로 1분기는 괜찮아 보일 수 있지만, 2분기와 하반기 전망에서는 &#8220;점진적인 보수주의&#8221;가 지배적일 것으로 예상된다.
결론은?
이것은 &#8220;하강 사이클 플레이북&#8221; 순간이다. 이 섹터의 장기적인 구조적 이야기는 인공지능(AI), 콘텐츠의 호재, 증가하는 칩 복잡성으로 여전히 유지되고 있다. 하지만 지금은 &#8220;불가피한 둔화&#8221;와 AI 기반 강세의 주머니 사이에서 균형을 잡는 것이 중요하다.
그리고 서가 말하길, &#8220;주식에 대해 선별적으로 접근하라&#8221;고 한다.

수요일(16일) 오후 제롬 파월 연준 의장이 관세 인상을 인플레이션 상승과 성장 둔화에 연결시키면서 연준이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">시장 손실을 완화할 의사가 없음</a>을 분명히 한 후 위험심리는 급격한 타격을 입었다.
파월 의장은 시카고 이코노믹 클럽 연설에서 관세의 인플레이션 효과가 이전에 생각했던 것보다 더 지속적일 수 있다고 말하며, 현재의 정책 불확실성으로 인해 관세의 전체 영향을 측정하기 어렵다고 경고했다.
특히 파월 의장은 월가에서 시장이 급락할 경우 연준이 개입할 것이라는 믿음인 이른바 &#8216;연준 풋&#8217;에 대해 언급하며 단호한 반응을 보였다. &#8220;나는 아니라고 말하겠다.&#8221;
이 한 마디에 트레이더들은 단기적인 통화정책 지원에 대한 기대치를 재조정했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">주가 하락, 반도체 기업 손실 확대</h3>
수요일 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500 지수는 2.24% 하락한 5,275.70포인트로 마감했고, Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)가 추적하는 나스닥 100 지수는 기술주 중심 압박으로 인해 3.04% 하락한 18,257.64포인트로 마감했다.
다우존스 산업평균지수는 1.73% 하락했고, 838포인트, 즉 2.1% 하락했다. 소형주 중심 러셀 2000 지수도 2.03% 하락했다.
거의 모든 섹터가 하락으로 전환했으며 기술 선택 섹터 SPDR 펀드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>)는 3.47% 급락했다. 에너지 주식은 유가 상승과 안전 자산 수요로 인해 유일한 예외였다.
반도체는 중국행 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) 칩에 대한 새로운 수출 제한으로 인해 특히 큰 타격을 받았다.
iShares 반도체 ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)는 3.86% 하락했고 엔비디아는 6.87% 하락, AMD(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)는 7.35% 하락했다.
<h3>안전자산 선호 속 금 상승</h3>
주식이 하락하는 동안 금값은 상승하며 2025년의 강력한 랠리를 이어갔다. 금은 온스당 2,350달러를 넘어서며 사상 최고치를 경신했고, 현재까지 26% 상승했다.
같은 기간 나스닥 100 지수가 23% 하락한 것과 비교하면, 금은 4개월 만에 기술 지수를 50% 가까이 상회하는 시장수익률을 기록했다.
인플레이션 우려, 정책 불확실성, 지정학적 긴장이 고조되는 가운데 금의 매력은 더욱 커지고 있다.
<h3>파월 &#8220;이번엔 시장 구조 없다&#8221;</h3>
파월 의장이 &#8216;연준 풋&#8217;을 지지하지 않은 것은 과거 경기 침체기에 중앙은행이 취했던 완화적인 자세에서 급격한 기조 전환을 의미한다. 그는 시장 변동성을 인정하면서도 주식과 채권 시장이 모두 "기능"하고 "질서"를 유지하고 있다고 말했다.
"시장은 많은 불확실성으로 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 이는 변동성을 의미한다. 하지만 그럼에도 불구하고 시장은 기능하고 있다."
파월 의장은 금리 결정은 자산 가격이 아닌 경제 데이터, 특히 인플레이션과 고용에 계속 초점을 맞출 것이라고 강조했다.

파월 의장, '연준 풋' 기대 일축···미국 증시 하락, 금 상승세 확대

KLA 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>)의 주식이 목요일 4% 이상 상승했다. 이는 대만 반도체 제조(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)의 실적이 예상보다 좋게 나타난 것과 동반하여 발생한 일이다.
하지만 KLA 코퍼레이션은 하락세로 반전될 가능성이 있다. 그래서 이 주식을<a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/?s=%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98%EC%9D%98+%EC%A3%BC%EC%8B%9D" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 오늘의 주식</a>으로 선정했다.
모멘텀은 주식이 주어진 시간 동안 얼마나 상승 또는 하락했는지를 측정하는 지표입니다. 대부분의 경우 주식은 일반적인 거래 범위 내에서 거래된다.
판매자들이 공격적으로 가격을 이 범위 아래로 밀어내면 거래자들은 이를 과매도 상태라고 한다. 반대로 구매자들이 가격을 범위 이상으로 밀어올리면 트레이더들은 이를 과매수 상태라고 한다.
이러한 역학 관계는 중요하다. 많은 거래 전략이 평균으로의 회귀 개념에 기반하고 있다. 과매수 또는 과매도 상태인 주식은 평균 거래 범위로 다시 반전되는 경향이 있다.
주식의 모멘텀을 측정하는 방법은 수십 가지, 어쩌면 수백 가지가 될 수 있다. 이를 모멘텀 지표 또는 오실레이터라고 한다.

일부 새로운 트레이더들은 너무 많은 지표를 사용하는 실수를 범한다. 그들은 연구를 많이 할수록 결과가 좋아질 것이라고 믿고 있다.
하지만 때때로 트레이더는 몇 가지 지표만 사용하고 이를 마스터하는 것이 더 나을 수 있다.
차트의 하단 부분은 상대 강도 모멘텀 지표(RSI)이다. 이는 인기 있는 지표이다. 파란선이 수평 빨간선보다 높으면 과매수 상태를 나타낸다. 현재 그런 상황이다.
가격 차트의 빨간선은 볼린저 밴드라고 한다. 이는 모멘텀을 측정하는 또 다른 인기 있는 방법이다.
이 선은 20일 이동 평균의 두 표준 편차 위에 있다. 통계학과 확률 이론에 따르면 95%의 거래는 평균의 두 표준 편차 내에서 발생해야 한다.
주식이 이 임계값을 초과하면 과매수 상태로 간주된다. 현재 그 상태이다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KLAC">KLA 퍼레이션</a>이 두 지표 모두에서 동시에 과매수 상태로 나타났던 마지막 두 번의 경우, 매도세가 곧 이어졌다. 다시 발생할 가능성이 있다.
주가 움직임: KLA의 주식은 목요일 4.33% 상승한 $747.26에 마감되었다.
