  1. Asia Stocks Decline As Tech Slump And Earnings Push Investors To Bonds

    Asian shares face downward pressure while a safety bid drives demand for bonds following a major selloff in US technology giants. Nasdaq and Nasdaq-100 futures slide as disappointing earnings from Alphabet, Amazon, and Intel revive doubts over the artificial intelligence trade that fueled the equity bull market. Alphabet shares suffered a record plunge on weak sales, while the Nasdaq 100 lost 1.4 percent. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady as traders assess the corporate earnings reports and broader economic conditions.

    Why it matters

    The technology sector rout serves as a reality check for Wall Street, shaking confidence in the artificial intelligence frenzy that previously propelled equity markets. Investors are actively rotating away from tech leaders into broader stock categories while seeking the relative safety of fixed-income assets. Short-dated Treasury notes outperform as the market digests recent corporate results alongside broader macroeconomic data.
