What happened
A punishing selloff in tech was dragging the stock market sharply lower on Thursday. The move came one day after equities saw a big bounce after the Democrats swept Tuesday’s midterm vote.
Why it matters
When Wall Street sells off hard, Indian markets often feel it through risk sentiment and foreign fund flows. IT and other tech-linked names in India may also track global growth and valuation moves in the sector.
Global impact
The move may unsettle global equity sentiment, especially in technology-heavy markets. Such swings often spill into Asia through weaker opening cues and lower risk appetite.
