IYW is trading at $281.76, up +5.41%, as Asian chip shares rebounded after recent losses.
- Samsung, SK Hynix and TSMC rose as selling eased.
- ASML reported stronger-than-expected Q3 sales and reaffirmed its full-year outlook, adding support to semiconductor sentiment.
- September CPI is due later October 14, leaving investors cautious about inflation and interest-rate implications. Broad-index futures were only modestly higher and do not alone explain IYW’s outsized indicated move.
