VTI down – VTI fell 1.5% today as AMD dropped 7.1%, dragging several of VTI’s biggest holdings lower. The same day also comes amid heavy AMD insider selling over the past six months and a slate of recent analyst buy and overweight ratings with a median target of $450.
On a day when $VTI slid 1.5%, the pressure had a clear source: $AMD was down 7.1%, pulling on the top part of the market mood.
The ETF’s losses weren’t isolated to one name. $NVDA, a major weight inside VTI, fell 4.3%. $AVGO dropped 5.6%, and $MSFT slid 1.7%. Even companies that didn’t lead the move still weighed on the total: $TSLA fell 4.1%, while $MU slipped 6.7%. $META declined 2.4%, and $INTC dropped 7.3%. $ORCL fell 7.7%, and $LRCX dropped 5.4%.
$AMD carried extra weight in the decline: it accounts for 0.8% of VTI’s holdings and fell 7.1% today. $NVDA, which is also listed at 6.6% of VTI’s holdings, fell 4.3%. $MSFT is listed as 4.4% of holdings and fell 1.7%, and $AVGO is listed at 2.9% of holdings and fell 5.6%.
That’s the market picture for today: a broad, chip-heavy pullback that adds up inside an index-tracking portfolio.
