The major indexes are down following the S&P 500’s worst first half since 1970 — and more in Friday’s stock market recap.

Chip-maker Micron Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) released earnings just below expectations Thursday after the market close. Micron is oversold to the downside, as we can see in the divergence between the stock price and its Relative Strength Index.
Micron’s earnings could impact the chip sector, so we’ll want to keep an eye on the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (Nasdaq: SMH).
