Why Is Intel (INTC) Stock Price Down 6.58% Today, August 18? Chip De-Risking Meets Iran Risk

AI Market Summary
Intel fell 6.58% amid a broader semiconductor selloff tied to elevated oil prices, Middle East/Iran uncertainty, and higher yields, which increased discount-rate pressure on capital-intensive growth and turnaround stories. No same-session company-specific negative disclosure was identified, suggesting macro and sector breadth drove repricing. Near-term focus is on whether risk appetite and chip breadth stabilize, given Intel's dilution and foundry execution sensitivity.
