S&P 500 and Nasdaq Decline as Tech Sell-off Triggers Rotation into Defensive Sectors
Major Wall Street indices concluded the week with significant losses, driven primarily by a sharp sell-off in technology stocks. Investor sentiment was dampened by a series of discouraging earnings reports within the tech sector, raising concerns regarding the sustainability of artificial intelligence-driven growth. The market witnessed a notable rotation as capital moved away from high-growth technology names and into defensive sectors. The S&P 500 fell by 1.82%, while the Nasdaq Composite experienced a steeper decline of 2.86% over the course of the week.
