A wave of liquidations swept through global technology equities on Tuesday, with semiconductor manufacturers facing the steepest declines.
The selling pressure extended from US exchanges to Asian markets, signaling a broad-based retreat from the sector that had previously anchored market optimism.
The rout followed a weak session on Wall Street, where tech-heavy indices struggled to find support.
Investors appear to be unwinding positions rapidly, shifting focus from long-term artificial intelligence growth narratives to immediate valuation concerns.
The breadth of the decline suggests that the pullback is not limited to a few laggards but is affecting the core of the tech sector.
This development marks a notable shift in market sentiment.
