Semiconductor stocks substantial moved downside, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index tumbling by 2.3%. Computer hardware and software stocks also were considerably weak , contributing to the steep drop by the tech-heavy Nasdaq. A sharp pullback by the price of gold also weighed on gold stocks, resulting in a 1.6% drop by the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index. Oil, financial and airline stocks too were notably weak while housing and pharmaceutical stocks strongly moved upwards.
