S&P 500 Ends Roughly Flat as Tech Falls; Nasdaq 100 Drops 0.7%
The divergence is the story: a flat S&P masks a sharp rotation out of tech and consumer discretionary into telecom and energy, with semiconductors and memory chips hit hardest. The damage is concentrated in specific names rather than broad, and the fact that Meta and Shopify rose while the Nasdaq 100 fell shows this is selective de-risking, not a tech-wide selloff. Whether the semiconductor and memory weakness keeps dragging the index, or the defensive rotation holds, is the open question.
