The S&P/ASX200 Information Technology (ASX:XIJ) closed 4.446% lower at 1343.1 on the ASX today. (14 June).
As a result, the other companies from the ASX200 Information Technology sector, such as WiseTech Global Limited (ASX:WTC), also closed over 6% lower today.
Meanwhile, the shares of Xero Limited (ASX:XRO) also closed around 1.242% lower on the ASX today.
Apart from the sector influence, another factor that might have drawn investors' attention today could be the S&P Dow Jones Index rebalancing.
