July Market Recap: Semiconductor Stocks Stumbled While the UK Quietly Led

Semiconductor stocks led global markets higher for months, then sold off hard as investors rotated out of richly valued chipmakers. Michael Lytle, Chief Investment Officer at StoneX Wealth, breaks down what the latest market swings mean for diversified, long-term portfolios. Lytle looks at why value stocks and the equal-weighted S&P 500 pulled ahead of growth, and why the UK led developed markets on its thin semiconductor exposure. He also covers rising US Treasury yields, with 30-year yields at their highest since 2007, as the Federal Reserve under Chair Kevin Warsh gives less guidance and lets the bond market do the tightening.
