What happened
Technology stocks have seen a recovery from their worst monthly performance in years, though analysts suggest this rebound may not hold. The July retreat, which saw the Nasdaq decline 3.2 percent, was the index's worst monthly performance in 20 years. This decline was driven by large institutional investors unwinding their exposure to tech stocks.

Why it matters
Analysts believe the market shift signals that investors are questioning whether tech stocks will continue their rally. Despite this sentiment, research indicates that AI infrastructure spending by nine major cloud providers is projected to surge 90 percent from 2025 to 2026. This spending reaches an estimated US$886.7 billion.
