What's Going On With Applied Materials, AMD And Nvidia Shares?

Shares of companies in the broader technology and semiconductor sectors, including Applied Materials, Inc. AMAT, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. AMD and NVIDIA Corporation NVDA, are all trading lower amid a rise in US Treasury yields.

When interest rates rise, the value of future cash flows is reduced for growth stocks, which in turn lower the value of the stock. The 10-year US Treasury yield is hovering around a two-year high at 2.500% Friday morning, which has pressured valuations.
