SOXX is trading 1.9% up in pre-market on September 21, 2026, as AI-linked shares rise alongside technology stocks.

• Nasdaq futures are up 0.88%; NVIDIA gained 5.14%, while TSMC jumped more than 6% after strong results and higher 2026 AI-capacity investment.
• U.S. technology and semiconductor sentiment is improving ahead of the week’s U.S.-China meeting.
• No major U.S. data are scheduled for September 21; India’s approximately $12 billion Semicon 2.0 commitments offer longer-term support, not the primary overnight catalyst.
