Tech stocks saw a sharp drop on Friday, with the Nasdaq hitting a low not seen in months. Concerns about AI-related spending particularly from tech giants contributed to the sell-off. The decline is forecast to erase over a trillion dollars in market cap as worries about the AI sector persist. Despite the tech sector's struggles, other areas of Wall Street were resilient, but the overall impact on the market remains substantial.
