US stock markets opened lower on Tuesday, with broad selling pressure hitting major indices.
The downturn was led by significant declines in shares of Tesla and Alphabet, both of which saw their stock prices fall following the release of their latest quarterly earnings reports.
Investors appeared to be reacting negatively to the financial data, contributing to a risk-off sentiment across Wall Street.
The sell-off in technology stocks came as broader market anxiety persisted.
US equities had already closed in negative territory on Monday, as traders adopted a cautious stance ahead of a pivotal week of earnings from other major technology firms, including Intel.
The continued weakness suggests that market participants remain sensitive to corporate guidance and execution details, even as the earnings season progresses.
