Are tech stocks finally faltering? Indexes end lower for the second session.
Stock indexes declined for the second consecutive day on Tuesday. Investors continued selling off AI-related stocks like Nvidia and Oracle. This downturn reflects growing concerns about AI spending. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all logged back-to-back losses.
The tech sector's retreat significantly impacted overall market performance. Energy stocks, however, outperformed, offering a slight offset. According to Investopedia, the S&P 500 fell by 1.2% on September 24, 2025.
Despite the broad decline, Alibaba saw a significant surge. This boost provided some fuel for AI-focused investors. Market analysts are closely watching the trend of AI spending.
The current market volatility suggests a potential shift in investor sentiment regarding tech giants, and further adjustments are likely.
