According to Goldman Sachs data, hedge funds sold the second-largest amount of global technology stocks in five years this week, second only to the sell-off in early August 2024. In this round of selling, U.S. tech stocks accounted for 75% of the net sell-off. Analysts noted that the speed at which these stocks were sold was not as rapid even at the beginning of the bear market in 2022. The Nasdaq 100 index has fallen by 13% over the past six weeks.
