Hedge funds are abandoning US tech stocks at the fastest pace in over a decade:

The Technology, Media, and Telecom sector has seen the largest and most sustained outflows of any US sector in 2026. The net selling accelerated sharply in June to nearly -3% of total US gross market value, according to Goldman Sachs. Last week, hedge funds sold the most US Information Technology stocks in more than 10 years, in both dollar and percentage terms. This was driven by long and short sales at a ratio of roughly 1.3 to 1. Semiconductors and semiconductor equipment accounted for more than half of the total tech sales, having now been net sold for 8 consecutive sessions. Hedge funds are running to the exit in US tech.

Nvidia will launch a PC “superchip” this year as the semiconductor giant goes head-to-head with Apple, Qualcomm, Intel and AMD for the first time.

Computer makers including Dell, Asus and HP will use what Nvidia claims is “the most efficient PC chip ever built”, paired with Microsoft’s Windows software, Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang announced on Monday. The launch marks a major competitive shift in the consumer PC industry and a new business line for $5.1tn Nvidia. The company, best known for its dominance of semiconductors for AI infrastructure, is pushing beyond its traditional graphics cards into integrated chips that power the whole PC. Lenovo, Microsoft, Acer and Taiwan’s MSI will also use the product. Source: FT
