ARTICLE SUMMARY

  • The Nasdaq Composite officially entered “correction” territory, meaning it has fallen more than 10% from its recent peak, signaling a meaningful pullback in tech-heavy stocks.
  • The broader U.S. market is weakening as well, with the S&P 500 and Dow also declining, reflecting a wider risk-off sentiment across equities.
  • Geopolitical tensions (particularly in the Middle East) and rising oil prices are key drivers, increasing inflation fears and pressuring investor confidence.
  • Expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts have diminished, as inflation risks persist, adding further pressure on stocks and contributing to ongoing volatility.
