Ivy Bridge will be using 3-D structure, setting a major breakthrough in the evolution of transistor. The
early design of this transistor was actually introduced as Tri-Gate in 2002, but it set to come into mass
production this year. Not only that it could power all kinds of computers, mobile phones and consumer
electronics, but it could also powers car electronics, spacecraft, household appliances, medical devices
and other everyday devices.
INTC gained 1.96% on Wednesday, settled the day at $23.50 and making it as the top gainer of
the day. Next was HPQ with 1.51% gains, and followed by PG which was up by 1.16%. Down at the
bottom three were CAT (-2.21%), GE (-1.79%) and DD (-1.73%).
The Dow itself finished 83.93 points or 0.66% lower at 12,723.58 after a double whammy of
economic data knocked stocks down.
ADP employment report indicated that the US private sector added 179K new jobs to the economy in
April, missing economists’ estimates which predicted the figure to be near to 200K. March’s figure was
revised up from 201K to 207K. Service sector employment gained 138K in April while in the
manufacturing sector employment rose 41K. Based on the company size, large companies added 11K
new jobs while medium-sized ones gained 84K. For companies with less than 50 employees,
employment rose 84K. The result painted a bleak picture of the US labor market condition since ADP
has been considered as the guide to the nonfarm payrolls figure set to release on next Friday.
Currently, the consensus for the Friday’s payrolls lies at 175K, down from the March figure of 216K.
The second data missing the consensus was the Institute for Supply Management index on services.
After hitting 57.3 in March, the index slipped to 52.8 in April. The market had expected the index to
rise instead to 57.8. The index, if lies above 50, indicates growth while below 50 indicates
contraction.

INTC has recoiled higher to as high as $23.56 recently and this has bent the EMAs from declining to
curling higher at the expense of RSI hovering around the overbought area. MACD is also declining,
demanding caution over the current rally’s continuity in the coming sessions. Regardless of the bearish
divergence pattern forming on the daily chart, INTC’s rise has been fueled by its earnings report
which somehow embarrassed analysts predicting weakness in 1Q. Now, INTC is on a fresh
breakthrough to level the competition in the semiconductor market with ARM Holdings as it unleashed
Ivy Bridge.
