Biggest declines since spring 2025
On Thursday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices fell most sharply since spring 2025, when markets reacted to the introduction of U.S. tariffs („Kapituliacija“: ketvirtadienis buvo blogiausia diena biržose nuo muitų įvedimo – vz.lt). Investors massively sold off stocks throughout the day, and prices closed at the lowest level of the day.
Semiconductors lose the most
The deepest collapse is visible in the integrated circuit manufacturing sector. As reported, this is the biggest decline in this industry since the pandemic.
Investor sentiment
According to Jed Ellerbroek, a fund manager at Argent Capital, investors are virtually giving up in the face of selling pressure. This assessment means that some market participants have stopped defending their positions instead of waiting for a rebound.
