Opinion: This market signal called the tech selloff. Now it’s sending another warning.

A market signal that preceded the recent technology stock decline is flashing again as correlations between individual stocks reached a record low. This decoupling of equities from broader market trends historically precedes volatility. Technology stocks are now cheaper than the S&P 500 for the first time since 2017, while defensive sectors gain ground. The S&P 500 slipped 0.17% to 7,785.76 as energy gains offset technology weakness. Analysts warn a reversion to mean correlations may not benefit the market.

  1. Stock correlations hit record low, signaling tech selloff warning

    A market signal that preceded the recent technology stock decline is flashing again as correlations between individual stocks reached a record low. This decoupling of equities from broader market trends historically precedes volatility. Technology stocks are now cheaper than the S&P 500 for the first time since 2017, while defensive sectors gain ground. The S&P 500 slipped 0.17% to 7,785.76 as energy gains offset technology weakness. Analysts warn a reversion to mean correlations may not benefit the market.

    Why it matters

    Low stock correlations indicate investors are picking winners and losers rather than moving in herd fashion, often a late-cycle phenomenon. The last time tech valuations dipped below the broad index was 2017, preceding a strong recovery. Current divergence coincides with geopolitical tension around Iran and upcoming CPI data that could shift Federal Reserve expectations. Capital rotation from growth to defensive sectors suggests rising risk aversion.

    What is confirmed

    • Correlations between individual stocks recently hit a record low.
    • Technology stocks are now cheaper than the S&P 500 for the first time since 2017.
