The “U.S. debt crisis” that has affected the entire financial market has also slowed down slightly, and short-term yields, which are more closely related to the Federal Reserve’s policies, have fallen significantly.

As of the close, the S&P 500 index rose 0.51% to 7743.41 points; the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.48% to 27068.72 points; the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.93% to 51828.62 points.

In addition to the optical communications and high-speed interconnection industry chains, the overall performance of the semiconductor sector is also very strong.

Memory chip stocks generally rose, with Qualcomm up about 4%, SK Hynix up more than 2%, Western Digital, Seagate Technology, and SanDisk up more than 1%, and Micron Technology up 0.16%.

Gen Digital Inc. fell more than 6% and fell more than 25% this week, marking its worst weekly performance in the past six years.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed up 1.41% on Friday, rising 6.27% this week and achieving “four consecutive weekly gains”, setting a record for the longest weekly rise since May. In addition to Tower Semiconductor and Credo, power semiconductor concept stocks ON Semiconductor closed up 5.54% on Friday, Microchip Technology rose 5.36%, low-power FPGA concept stocks Lattice Semiconductor rose 4.77%, GlobalFoundries rose 4.14%, Qualcomm rose 3.97%, and NXP rose 3.44%.

Meta closed down 3.33% on Friday as the star intelligence Muse was exposed to encounter “computing bottlenecks”, service degradation, task failures, etc., but the cumulative increase this week still reached 12.99%.

U.S. bond yields fell after rising during the day, with the short-term decline greater than the long-term decline. The two-year U.S. Treasury yield, which is more closely related to the Fed’s policy, fell by about 7 basis points to 4.86%, the 10-year yield fell by about 4 basis points to 5.17%, and the 30-year yield continued to hit a new high since 2004, and is still fluctuating around 5.5%.
