Intel and chip stocks rise despite higher rate hike odds after strong jobs report

Intel shares climbed 4% and other chip stocks like NVIDIA and AMD also rose, defying expectations that a strong jobs report and increased odds of a September Federal Reserve rate hike would hurt high-multiple tech stocks. The semiconductor sector outperformed broader tech, supported by strong revenue growth and optimism around Intel's foundry turnaround and AI-related data center demand. Investors are watching if this chip stock rally can sustain amid tightening monetary policy and upcoming economic data releases.
