Asian stocks slumped and Nasdaq futures slid on Tuesday as the tech selloff extended into a second day. Treasury yields eased amid growing concerns over high interest rates and their impact on technology stocks. Investors remained cautious as the selloff in major tech names continued from Monday’s losses, with semiconductor and software companies leading the decline.
Market volatility persisted as traders assessed the outlook for monetary policy and corporate earnings. The downturn reflected broader risk-off sentiment across global markets, particularly in Asia, where indices tracked Wall Street’s losses. Despite the weakness in equities, bond markets saw increased demand, pushing yields lower.
Analysts noted that the tech sector remains under pressure due to valuation concerns and macroeconomic headwinds. The selloff underscored ongoing investor sensitivity to interest rate expectations and growth prospects.
