On August 18, Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund declined 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $184.74/share, with turnover of $617 million.

On the news front, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged 5% on the day, marking its steepest single-session decline in recent weeks, triggering broad-based selling across the tech sector. Storage stocks led the downturn, with SanDisk falling 8%, SK Hynix dropping 7.4%, Intel declining over 6%, and Micron Technology losing nearly 5%. Optical communications leader Coherent tumbled more than 11%. The systemic selloff in semiconductors and storage weighed heavily on the fund, which allocates over 95% of its assets to technology companies spanning networking, IT services, software, semiconductor equipment, and communications technology products.

The fund employs a replication strategy, typically investing in substantially all of the securities represented in the S&P Information Technology index in approximately the same proportions. The fund is non-diversified.
