Stock Track | iShares Semiconductor ETF Soars 5.94% in Pre-Market on AI Optical Chip Demand Boom and Dip-Buying

Stock Track

Jul 30

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) surged 5.94% in pre-market trading on Thursday, staging a sharp rebound after a steep selloff had pushed the semiconductor sector into a technical bear market.

The rally was driven by a combination of renewed optimism over AI-driven chip demand and a classic "buy the dip" mentality. A Yole Group report projected that the global optical module market will surge from $23 billion in 2025 to $112 billion by 2031, with AI computing infrastructure contributing over 90% of revenue. This structural demand shift toward AI-related semiconductor capacity appeared to trigger fresh buying interest following days of panic-driven liquidation across global chip stocks.

Additionally, the recent selloff in AI and tech names created what many traders viewed as an attractive entry point. Morgan Stanley had recently outlined strategies for buying into the weakness, and the ETF's pre-market surge suggests investors are acting on that perspective, betting that the declines in semiconductor stocks were overdone.
