The NASDAQ Composite Index plunged on Tuesday while S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average declined to close lower from their records set on Friday as technology shares dropped on all three indexes.
Shares of technology giants Amazon.Com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ), Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:MSFT), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) as well as Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) ended in red today.
Tech-savvy NASDAQ lost 350 points on May 10 while S&P 500 and Dow Jones lost 44 points and 35 points respectively.
Gains in utility and consumer non-cyclical stocks could not offset the drop in technology and energy sectors. Also, the investors seemed to be anxious about the April inflation data, which the U.S. Department of Labor will publish on Wednesday.
The NASDAQ Composite Index fell 2.55 percent to 13,401.86. The S&P 500 declined 1.04 percent to 4,188.43 and the Dow Jones decreased by 0.10 percent to 34,742.82. The small-cap Russell 2000 was also down 2.59 percent to 2,212.70.
Meanwhile, a ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline’s network, which spans more than 5,500 miles between Texas and New Jersey, has disrupted pipeline operations in the area since Friday. The company now expects to “substantially” restore operational service only by the end of the week.
