By Jared Mitovich

After a brief cool-off last week, U.S. semiconductor and memory stocks are rallying in Tuesday morning trading, led by Micron, which is nearing a $1 trillion market capitalization. It's on pace to surpass Walmart as the 11th largest U.S. company.

The revival began Friday when shares of Qualcomm rose more than 12% on the company's deal with global automaker Stellantis to support AI-powered vehicles. The momentum continued earlier today in Asia, with South Korea's Kospi index rallying 2.6%, helped by rises in chip-making champions Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

Now, the renewed excitement is lifting up markets in the United States, taking the tech-heavy Nasdaq up 1.3%.
