🟢 Tech ETF (FTXL) is trading 1.9% up today on reports of Intel-SK Hynix U.S. memory-chip talks

FTXL is trading 1.9% up as reports of preliminary, unconfirmed discussions between Intel and SK Hynix on U.S. memory-chip manufacturing lift semiconductor optimism.

• The Nasdaq Composite is up 0.61%; Intel rose about 5% in early trading on the report.
• Higher Treasury yields, strong retail sales, and the risk of hawkish Federal Reserve guidance are limiting technology-sector gains.
