Stock futures fell sharply Friday as the tech sector's performance caused a selloff. Nasdaq-100 futures fell by 2%, reflecting a rout in the tech sector. Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures also declined. Weak earnings from major tech firms contributed to the drop. Asia's stock markets faced significant declines, while bonds saw a rise in interest. The selloff was driven by fears over the tech sector's performance.
“The selloff was driven by fears over the tech sector's performance,” — Priya Delgado, senior market analyst at Heawell Gate Services, told our newsroom.
