ASML Holding is trading at €1434.80, down 6.12%, mainly amid semiconductor-sector weakness, with broader macro pressure also contributing.
- On October 14, hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation added pressure to chip stocks as markets reassessed interest-rate risks.
- Semiconductor shares were also weighed by China competition concerns.
- ASML reported record third-quarter sales and raised its full-year outlook, but the positive news does not explain the decline.
