Tech stocks, Tariff row hitting Stock Market

“The trend of weakness in tech stocks stemming from the potential AI impact continues. The weakness in the ADRs of Indian IT companies indicates that this segment will continue to remain under pressure,” V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd, told PTI.

The expert said market players globally are keenly awaiting President Trump’s State of the Union address later in the day.

“The EU freezing the deal with US in the light of the tariff changes following the Supreme Court verdict and Trump’s warnings to countries backing away from deals indicate that the tariff drama has more in store for economies and markets. We will have to wait and watch how this drama plays out,” Vijayakumar added.
