Tech Sell-Off Pressures Wall Street as Investors Rotate to Safety
A broad slide in U.S. equities saw technology stocks at the center of the decline, weighing on major indexes and spilling into other sectors. The pullback sharpened risk-off sentiment, with investors favoring defensive areas while trimming exposure to high-beta names. Payment and banking shares also softened as the market reassessed growth and valuation risks.
Semiconductors led the retreat: Nvidia fell 2.71% and Advanced Micro Devices dropped 3.63%. Weakness extended to consumer cyclical and communication services, with Amazon down 1.17%, Tesla off 3.10%, Alphabet lower by 2.64%, and Meta shedding 2.08%. The move reflects renewed caution around interest rates, geopolitics, and stretched tech valuations after a strong year-to-date run.
Financials were broadly softer. JPMorgan Chase declined 1.31% and Visa eased 0.30%, signaling pressure across payments and banking as investors gauge the spending outlook and rate path. Defensive pockets showed relative resilience: healthcare was steady, with Eli Lilly down just 0.22%, while consumer staples saw selective gains, including a modest rise in Procter & Gamble. Utilities and other traditionally defensive groups also outperformed on a relative basis as sector rotation took hold.
