The Dow Couldn't Keep Up With Chip Stocks on Monday

Chip stocks led a Monday rally, with the Nasdaq Composite gaining 1.3% and the S&P 500 rising 0.7%, while the Dow Jones remained flat. Broadcom surged 4.4% after extending its Apple chip supply deal through 2031, and AMD jumped 8% on autonomous driving adoption. However, Microsoft fell 1.4% following announcements of 4,800 job cuts, and the Dow was weighed down by declines in Honeywell and Amgen.
