Major US stock indices closed deeply in the red on Tuesday. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 3.3%, the S&P 500 fell 1.4%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1%. The decline was led by technology shares amid mounting doubts over the sustainability of the AI-driven rally.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) also slid sharply, adding to the broad-based tech weakness. Meanwhile, the US dollar climbed to a fresh high for the year 2026, extending its recent upward trend against major currencies.
