Tech drag dominates: The NASDAQ fell -1.46%, its worst day since Aug 1, led by the Magnificent 7 (-1.67%). Nvidia (-3.5%) was the biggest loser and set the tone for semis and AI-linked names.
Index divergence: Despite the cap-weighted S&P falling (-0.59%), the equal-weighted S&P rose (+0.45%), showing the selloff was tech-concentrated rather than broad. That highlights rotation into cyclicals/defensives away from mega-cap tech.
Stock specifics:
Intel (+6.97%) surged on the $2bn SoftBank stake, bucking the chip weakness.
Home Depot (+3.17%) outperformed on earnings, showing consumer/housing resilience—positive for broader equities but less relevant for tech.
Rates backdrop: 10yr UST yields fell -2.7bps to 4.31% after S&P affirmed the US AA+ rating. Lower yields normally support growth/tech, but today’s positioning and rotation outweighed rate relief.
Fed/policy watch:
Treasury Sec. Bessent hinted at Fed Chair decision timing (Powell’s replacement watch).
Markets remain priced for a jumbo cut in September, with focus shifting to Jackson Hole this week—key risk event for Nasdaq given rate-cut sensitivity.
Geopolitics: Noise around Ukraine security guarantees and Switzerland’s peace-talk stance was not market-moving for tech.
Relevance for NASDAQ100 traders:
Yesterday’s selloff was tech-specific, not broad market weakness, implying concentration risk in mega-caps.
Intel’s rally shows idiosyncratic catalysts can break correlation.
Watch Jackson Hole & Fed rate-cut pricing → likely main driver for Nasdaq100 short-term.
Rotation risk: If the equal-weighted S&P keeps outperforming, the Nasdaq may underperform further unless big tech regains leadership.
