Tech stocks experienced a significant sell-off on Tuesday as investors questioned the sustainability of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, leading to sharp declines in major companies. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite dropped roughly 2%, while the S&P 500 fell by more than 1%. Shares of Nvidia, Qualcomm, Intel, and Marvell Technology all declined, along with Meta Platforms, Apple, and Alphabet. Micron Technology saw the steepest drop, plunging more than 13% ahead of its third-quarter earnings report. The sell-off extended to Asia, where South Korean tech giants SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics each lost over 12%. Analysts attributed the volatility to investor caution following strong gains in tech stocks, with some questioning whether AI investments will yield long-term returns. SpaceX, which saw a 16% drop on Monday after its initial public offering, rebounded slightly on Tuesday. The sell-off also triggered a shift in global markets, with U.S. Treasuries rising and safe-haven currencies like the Japanese yen and Swiss franc gaining strength.
