IBM's stock plummeted, erasing approximately $69 billion from its market capitalization. The move marked one of the largest single-day value losses for the company.
On the same day, major banks delivered record profits, though the source did not specify which institutions. Separately, consumer price index (CPI) data showed inflation cooling faster than analysts had anticipated.
The contrasting moves across sectors highlight a divergent market environment, with tech under pressure while financials and macro data offer a more positive backdrop.
