Japan Stocks Tumble as U.S. Market Slump Sparks Global Sell-Off
Published On Sep 3, 2024, 11:34 PM
Global stock markets have been unsettled, particularly in the technology sector, after a significant sell-off led by U.S. tech companies like Nvidia. The S&P 500 experienced fluctuations, ultimately falling by 0.2% on Wednesday, following a 2% decline the previous day. Nvidia's stock saw a turbulent week, with a nearly 10% drop the day before, marking the largest single-day loss for any publicly traded U.S. company. Meanwhile, a decrease in U.S. job openings has added to concerns regarding the economy, prompting speculation about potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

XLK
Negative
Given the overall uncertainty in the technology sector and potential Fed policy shifts, ETFs that focus on the tech sector may also be affected negatively as investors pull back on riskier assets.
