Wall Street faced intensified selling pressure during Thursday’s session, with all three major indices trading in the red. The Nasdaq Composite led the descent with a 0.7% drop, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated by 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively.

Semiconductor volatility remains the primary catalyst for the downturn. Nvidia shares slid 4% as the broader chip sector continued to experience a widespread selloff, dampening momentum for growth-oriented portfolios.

Netflix shareholders also took a hit today, with the streaming giant’s stock plunging 10.6%. This sharp contraction contributed significantly to the negative sentiment rippling across the technology sector.

Market participants are now closely monitoring these cooling valuations to see if the recent tech rally is entering a period of consolidation or a more sustained correction.
