What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Nasdaq composite hit its worst day since June following a sharp tech selloff on October 30, 2026. Intel suffered its worst-ever daily decline amid investor anxieties about slowing growth and dwindling cash piles. The decline followed public tech earnings reports, including a dissatisfying quarterly report from Alphabet, which showed slowed growth in its search-advertising business.
