Winning sectors were few and far between on Friday as the market continued its recent plunge, but a report from UMC (UMC) is lifting semiconductor fabricator stocks to end the week. According to coverage by Reuters, the Taiwanese chipmaker said its April sales spiked by 36% year-over-year, an indication of returning demand for computers and other consumer electronics. As a whole, the Semiconductor Fabricator Stocks Index is ahead by 4.5% today, but other corners of the tech market are sinking with the market.
