Intel Stock Faces Uncertainty After Initial Gains
Intel's stock was initially gaining ground before declining later in the day, with a 1% drop as of 3:45 p.m. ET. The decline comes despite reports that the Trump administration is promoting a deal to see Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) acquire Intel's chip-fabrication unit. Investors' optimism over this potential deal was short-lived, as they quickly turned bearish on tech stocks after Nvidia reported strong but uncertain earnings.

- Can Intel's struggling chip fabrication unit be salvaged through a sale or partnership with TSMC, or will it ultimately contribute to the company's decline?
