This drop was primarily driven by the retreat from tech stocks following the latest inflation data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report indicated easing price pressures, prompting big players to unwind their bullish positions in the tech sector and redirect their capital. This move caused the Nasdaq to suffer its biggest single-day loss since February 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Image-51-1024x502.jpg\" alt=\"The NAS100 chart reflects a significant sell-off in Nasdaq and tech stocks triggered by recent inflation data. The chart, set to a 1-hour interval, reveals a volatile trading session. It shows the index's trend at -0.05%, opening at 20410.5 and closing at 20399.90. The highest price touched was 20410.75, and the lowest was 20329.65. The chart includes several moving averages (5, 10, 20, 30), trading volumes, and the MACD (12, 26, 9) indicator. A notable drop is visible, indicating investor concerns over rising inflation leading to aggressive selling. The MACD histogram shows increasing bearish momentum, while the trading volumes highlight the intensity of the sell-off. \" class=\"wp-image-14171\" style=\"width:1450px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picture: Nasdaq Composite faced its biggest single day decline, as observed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VT Markets app<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Impact on the tech giants<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tech giants experienced a massive sell-off, collectively losing over $600 billion in market capitalization.
