How are technology stocks faring recently?
Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX:XIJ) was up 4.593% at 1518.600 points.
Technology stocks have had a difficult time over the last couple of months, mainly due to rising interest rates, inflation concerns, market volatility and other external factors. Generally, it is seen that increasing rates create a bearish climate for tech valuations. When interest rates rise, growth sectors such as tech need to deliver much higher growth rates to justify the risks investors take for a higher return. Besides, rising rates reduce the value of future cash flows, lowering the value of current stock prices.
