Tech Selloff Hits Markets
Big Tech and AI stocks slid, dragging markets lower and stoking bubble worries.
Main Story
BalancedA sell-off in major technology shares spread from Asia to Wall Street, dragging the Nasdaq down 2.2% Tuesday and pulling the S&P 500 lower by about 1.4% while the Dow held up better because it is less exposed to tech. The declines hit AI-linked companies and chipmakers that had powered repeated market records, with investors reassessing rich valuations after a long rally. Worries about potentially higher interest rates later in the year added pressure, while geopolitical and economic risks compounded the retreat. The drop marked a second straight day of losses for the tech-heavy market and revived concerns that enthusiasm around artificial intelligence may have run ahead of profits.
