Pullbacks in big technology companies sent indexes lower on Wall Street.
The S&P 500 fell 1.4% Tuesday. The selling was concentrated in AI-related companies that have had huge run-ups in recent months and sent the market to record after record, most recently in early June. Investors are becoming worried that the growing likelihood of interest rate hikes this year to fight inflation will weigh on economic growth.
The Nasdaq fell 2.2%. The Dow, which has less weighting in tech, held up better with a drop of just 0.1%. Chip companies, which have soared in recent weeks, sank. Micron Technology lost 13.2%.
On Tuesday:
The S&P 500 fell 107.33 points, or 1.4%, to 7,365.46.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 45.87 points, or 0.1%, to 51,666.84.
The Nasdaq composite fell 579.56 points, or 2.2%, to 25,587.04.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 28.92 points, or 1% to 2,975.48.
