Technology stocks, particularly in the AI sector, experienced a significant downturn over two trading days. Nvidia, a key AI stock, fell nearly 4% in recent trading and about 7% from last month's peak. The selloff was triggered by market reaction to Palantir Technologies' results, with Palantir dropping nearly 8% on day one and a further 3.5% on day two. Major Asian markets, including Seoul and Tokyo, were down about 5% from recent peaks. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index fell 2%. Analysts attribute the decline to profit-taking rather than fundamental concerns, noting that over 83% of S&P 500 companies have beaten earnings expectations this quarter.
