    Tech Stock Sell-off Led by Meta

    Wall Street experienced a significant sell-off of tech stocks, with Meta (formerly Facebook) leading the decline. The company's stock dropped by 7.0 percent, contributing to a loss of over $300 billion from the S&P 500 index and approximately $600 billion in total market value. The sell-off was driven by concerns in the AI sector and rising oil prices, while investors sought safe havens in treasuries, leading to the strongest rally in a year.
