AI disruption fears rotate capital from Technology into defensives and media.
The session's defining move was not a single earnings beat but a macro repricing: bond yields fell on deflationary AI fears while equity capital fled semiconductors and financials into communication services, healthcare, and energy.
Communication Services surged 3.36% led by NFLX's 13.77% single-session gain while Technology fell 1.21% and Financials dropped 2.19%, producing a 5.55-point top-to-bottom sector dispersion on broadly positive breadth of seven sectors higher.
