Technology stocks fell across the board, and the three major U.S. stock indices opened lower and face the risk of a bear market

According to Gate's market data, on Friday, the three major U.S. stock indexes opened lower, with technology stocks declining across the board. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell more than 20% from its historical closing high, likely confirming entry into a bear market.

SK Hynix's ADR fell below the issuance price of $149 for the first time, and SpaceX's stock price dropped 38% from its peak, with a market value evaporating by about $1 trillion. AMD fell over 7%, Intel dropped over 6%, and TSMC declined over 5%. Analysts pointed out that the continued pullback in chip stocks is influenced by a shift in funding styles and a change in market preferences, while Federal Reserve Chairman Waller's dissatisfaction with inflation has increased market expectations for interest rate hikes.
