Odaily reports: Nasdaq plans to introduce new rules under which listed companies whose market capitalization falls below $5 million for 30 consecutive days would face immediate suspension and delisting proceedings, aimed at cracking down on manipulation tactics such as "pump-and-dump" schemes in the overseas small-cap stock market. The proposal has drawn opposition from small U.S. domestic businesses, with affected companies concerned that the new rules could inadvertently target normally operating companies with significant stock price volatility, impacting their fundraising and business development. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suspended progress on the proposal last month and decided to seek further public comment. Currently, more than 190 Nasdaq-listed companies have a market capitalization of no more than $5 million, nearly half of which are headquartered in the United States. (Bloomberg)

Odaily: As chip stocks shed $1 trillion in market value, ETF investors are pouring billions of dollars into the decline, with one fund offering triple the daily exposure to the semiconductor sector on track for a record weekly inflow.

Data compiled shows that the $72 billion VanEck Semiconductor ETF attracted more than $430 million in inflows over the past three trading sessions, on pace for its largest weekly inflow since early September. Some investors are being even more aggressive: despite the triple-leveraged Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF falling nearly 21% this week, roughly $3.8 billion has flowed in. For the $19 billion fund, that inflow is enough to set an all-time record for a single week.

However, the market backdrop is hardly encouraging. Amid persistent investor concerns over AI spending and intensifying global competition, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen 12% over the past six trading sessions, wiping out about $1 trillion in market value. Worries over stretched valuations and rising interest rates have further exacerbated the sector's volatility. Todd Sohn, Chief ETF Strategist at Baird Strategas, said: "The pullback in semiconductor stocks has accelerated again, but it still hasn't truly dampened investors' demand to use leverage to buy the dip."
