Nasdaq Composite Drops 3% Amid Technology Sector Sell-off

A major catalyst for the rout was Intel's disappointing third-quarter earnings report, which triggered a wider liquidation of semiconductor stocks. This shift in investor sentiment has put intense pressure on tech-heavy indices as market participants move away from chipmakers.
