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.

Despite the tech sector's challenges, other areas of Wall Street performed well, but the overall impact on the market is considerable.
