<div id="readability-page-1">Chip stocks soar: Semiconductors have surged over 60% since March, outpacing the broader S&amp;P 500 and lifting the index toward record levels despite hot inflation data. Narrow market breadth: Just a small group of tech giants and chipmakers are driving most gains, with semis now making up nearly a fifth of the S&amp;P 500’s weight.

<p>Semiconductor stocks have surged over 60% since March, significantly boosting the S&P 500 index, which is nearing record levels despite high inflation. However, this growth is driven by a limited number of tech giants and chipmakers, with semiconductors now constituting nearly 20% of the S&P 500's weight. Analysts warn that this concentrated market leadership poses risks of significant losses if demand for AI or chips declines, reminiscent of previous market bubbles.</p>
