Semiconductor sector selloffs, which previously caused notable declines in the S&P 500, have lost their impact in 2026. Historically, when the semiconductor index (SOX) dropped by 3% or more, the S&P 500 averaged a 2.38% decline from 2006 to 2025. However, in 2026, this average drop has lessened to just 0.78%. On July 28th, despite a 4.5% fall in SOX, the equal-weight S&P 500 ETF hit a record high, indicating resilience in the broader market. This shift suggests that semiconductor volatility is no longer a significant threat to the overall market, with investors able to consider alternatives like the equal-weight S&P 500 ETF (RSP) for less exposure to chip sector swings.
