US Markets Slide as Tech Stocks Retreat Amid Inflation Concerns
US markets weakened after inflation data and tariff escalations pressured tech stocks, reducing expectations for 2026 rate cuts and increasing volatility across major indices.
US equity markets extended losses as major technology stocks retreated following economic data that indicated persistent inflation and slower underlying growth. Investors weighed the impact of the Trump administration’s newly expanded tariff measures, which intensified concerns surrounding corporate margins and import costs heading into 2026. Market participants reassessed expectations for Federal Reserve rate policy, reducing the likelihood of multiple cuts next year. Broader US indices weakened as risk appetite declined across sectors sensitive to macroeconomic conditions. The sell-off underscored ongoing volatility across technology, retail, and consumer-focused segments.
