On the same day, the Dow fell by 0.25%, the S&P 500 by 0.29%, and the Nasdaq by 0.31%. This was interpreted as a reaction to fears of an economic recession following the Federal Reserve’s 0.5% interest rate cut.

In the wake of Nvidia’s decline, its competitor AMD also saw a drop of 1.68%. Intel, which had recently enjoyed a rally due to positive news, plummeted by 3.26%, reflecting a wider downturn among major semiconductor stocks.
