Tech Sell-Off Triggers Broad Market Shift
During Thursday's trading session, mounting anxieties regarding U.S. inflation figures and corporate debt tied to artificial intelligence sparked a sharp correction across technology and semiconductor stocks.

As market participants exited technology holdings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged more than 500 points. Concurrently, demand for safe-haven assets drove gains in U.S. Treasurys, reflecting a defensive positioning strategy among investors navigating renewed economic uncertainty.
