Singapore stocks ended lower on Friday (Jul 17), amid the city-state’s three banks experiencing declines in the day’s session.

The benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) lost 0.5 per cent or 29.95 points to finish at 5,509.43. Across the broader market, losers outnumbered gainers 365 to 226, after 1.2 billion securities worth S$2.1 billion changed hands.

S&P 500 closes lower, Nasdaq falls more than 1% as chip stocks suffer: Live updates

Stocks fell again on Friday, with Wall Street posting a weekly decline, as traders weighed the latest moves in semiconductor names along with recent quarterly reports.

The broad market index lost 1.01% to end at 7,457.69, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.4% to 25,520.24 as tech stocks came under scrutiny. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 406.55 points, or 0.77%, to close at 52,146.42.

The major stock benchmarks notched weekly losses, with the S&P 500 off 1.6%, while the Nasdaq slid 2.9%. The Dow fell 0.9% on the week.

The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) posted its third weekly decline in four weeks, dropping almost 9% in the period. Semiconductors were hit especially hard earlier in the session after Chinese startup Moonshot AI unveiled a new model that it said narrows the gap with the top offerings in the U.S.

No B.S. Just Charts.

Crash alert - and the first real buy levels. In today's Game Plan, Chief Market Strategist Gareth #Soloway breaks down the semiconductor collapse he's been warning about for months - now near major swing-buy levels on Micron, SanDisk, and Marvell. He's covered most of his shorts and is starting to nibble longs. Plus the Nasdaq's line in the sand at 25,000, Netflix and Oracle after earnings, and gold and silver nearing support.

πŸ“Š COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:
πŸ”΄ Semiconductors (overview) - The collapse Gareth warned about has arrived; he expects an eventual ~70-75% drawdown, but big 20-25% bounces come first - and he's scoping buy levels now
πŸ”΅ S&P 500 - Down ~1%, testing the 2021 bull-market trendline; the more it's hit the weaker it gets. A break below would be a failed breakout - a bad sign for the broader market
πŸ”΄ Nasdaq 100 - Down ~2% (~585 pts), dragged by the semis; the line in the sand is 25,000 (a major pivot). Break it and 24,000 is next
πŸ”΄ Micron (MU) - A huge support zone from ~$815 down to the ~$750 gap fill; Gareth got out of his short and may start nibbling a long below $800
πŸ”΄ SanDisk (SNDK) - Down $1,000+ from its highs; major support ~$1,285 down to ~$1,200 (the textbook broke-retraced-now-lower play)
πŸ”΄ Marvell (MRVL) - A 40%+ drop into good support - one of his favorites for a bounce
πŸ”΄ Netflix (NFLX) - Blew through $68.70 on weak earnings; next level ~$64 for a possible day-trade bounce
πŸ”΅ Oracle (ORCL) - Support ~$120 (two trendlines); Gareth likes it as the inverse of the memory names - extreme fear vs. earlier extreme greed
πŸ”΄ SpaceX - Nasty drop after a scrubbed launch; Gareth stays on the sidelines unless it hits the $100 psychological level
πŸ”΅ Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) - Down on guidance; no interest unless the ~$330 gap fill
πŸ”΅ Alcoa (AA) - A bear-flag break lower; possible swing-trade support ~$41 as the metals near support
πŸ”΄ Gold - Hammered (low ~$3,959) as the dollar bounces; support just below $3,900 where Gareth starts nibbling longer-term
πŸ”΄ Silver - Within $0.77 of his $54 target; he'll accumulate $54 down to $46. The first bearish retail comments are appearing - an early psychological tell
🟒 Crude Oil - Upticking on Middle East degradation; $87 is his short level (the buy call worked), expecting a pullback toward $70 or sub-$70
πŸ”΅ Natural Gas - A tiny bid, but forming a bear flag; needs to lift off the mat soon or he'd favor a breakdown by mid next week
πŸ”΅ Bitcoin (BTC) - Slipped back below the inverse-H&S neckline (never confirmed above); still a top performer since early July - watch if a Nasdaq bounce lifts it

πŸ”‘ KEY TAKEAWAY: The semiconductor crash Gareth called is here, and he's flipped from short to scoping longs - Micron (below $800), SanDisk ($1,285-$1,200), and Marvell into support for 20-25% bounces, even though he sees an eventual ~70-75% cycle drawdown. The Nasdaq's 25,000 is the line in the sand, and the psychological tells (bearish silver comments, crushed hype names) are exactly what he watches to time the turns.
