Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Nasdaq down around 100 points signals tech-led weakness and risk-off sentiment that can spill into the S&P 500 through large-cap tech and semis. Historically, Nasdaq leadership drives broader indices; however, defensive sectors can moderate the impact if they stabilize market breadth.
