Canadian tech stocks soared upwards during the pandemic, and in 2022, they declined massively amid recession fears and higher interest rates.

In 2023, the situation of the tech sector doesn't seem to be bad like the previous year, but volatility continues to affect it every now and then.

The S&P/TSX Capped Information Technology Index was down by 1.34 per cent during the trading session on Wednesday, March 15. However, in terms of year-to-date (YTD) performance, the tech index is up by 14.92 per cent.
