What happened
A major tech sell-off on Wall Street spread globally on Friday morning. The FTSE 100 in London fell by 1.6% after opening, while IQE and Kioxia were among the stocks that declined. Asian markets also dropped firmly, led by plunges in the tech sector.

Why it matters
The market weakness was linked to Democrat victories in the US mid-term elections and concerns over a potential AI “bubble.” The tech sell-off impacted US-exposed firms, technology businesses, and pharmaceutical companies listed on the FTSE 100.
