Tech Sell-Off Hits Stocks as Markets Brace for a Big Week

Technology stocks led a broad market decline on Monday, as investors kicked off a week packed with major geopolitical and economic events by moving away from risk. The drop in chip and other tech shares pulled the wider equity market down, setting a cautious tone for trading. The pullback comes ahead of several high-stakes developments that could influence global markets in the coming days. With central bank meetings, earnings reports, and political tensions on the horizon, traders appeared to be locking in profits and reducing exposure to more volatile sectors. The move reflects growing caution among investors who are waiting for clearer signals before making bigger bets.
