Tech Stock Selloff Deepens on Earnings, Oil Rises: Markets Wrap - Bloomberg.com

Major sell-off hits tech stocks

Tech stocks saw a sharp drop on Friday, with the Nasdaq hitting a low not seen in months. Concerns about AI-related spending particularly from tech giants led to the market decline. The decline is expected to wipe out more than $1 trillion in market value as worries about the AI market persist. Despite the tech sector's challenges, other areas of Wall Street performed well, but the overall impact on the market is considerable.
