USD is trading at $80.09, down 3.03%, amid after-hours technology weakness following Alphabet’s results.
- Alphabet shares fell sharply after its results; revenue missed expectations, and EPS was $2.12.
- Separately, record SK Hynix results lifted AI-memory confidence and chip stocks. The Nasdaq fell 2.14%, suggesting broader megacap weakness, rather than a semiconductor-sector selloff, may explain the alert’s timing.
- A specific USD holding-level cause is unconfirmed.
