The dollar is down. The [yield] curve is up. It seems like the market is starting to price back in the fact that any of the good news bits that we had previously thought might be the start of the end are actually maybe just the end of the beginning."</p><p>Chip stocks, which have tended to lead the market through both rally and selloff, slid on Monday, with SanDisk, Marvell Technology and Intel dropping between about 6% and 12.5%.</p><p>And after a stellar Nasdaq debut on Friday, U.S.-listed shares of South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix sank more than 9%.</p><p>On the flip side, energy stocks led the gainers, as crude prices surged more than 9%.
