# Why VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) rose 4.77% on November 10, 2026

VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) rose 4.77% on November 10, 2026 — Broad tech rally on $26B Anthropic AI deal.

## What happened

The VanEck Semiconductor ETF rose 4.8% as AMD, Broadcom, Google and others pledged $26B to Anthropic, lifting the broad chip basket.

## Why it moved

SMH is the basket itself, so it moves with its largest holdings. The AMD and Broadcom gains drive the ETF's move.

## Why it matters

SMH is the benchmark for the Chip Supply Chain theme and the AI compute supercycle as a whole.

## What would break the thesis

The ETF is concentrated in a few megacaps. A reversal in one or two of them can drag the whole basket.
