Dow Plunges 700 Points as Nvidia-Led Tech Rout Triggers Broad Wall Street Sell-Off

U.S. equities faced sharp declines in the latest session, with the Dow Jones tumbling 700 points and both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 sliding as technology shares led a widespread sell-off. Nvidia and other major semiconductor names experienced heavy losses ahead of an important week for corporate earnings and macroeconomic data releases. Analysts noted that elevated valuations, shifting rate expectations, and caution over potential earnings disappointments contributed to the downturn. Broader market sentiment weakened further as traders reduced risk exposure in anticipation of increased volatility through the upcoming economic announcements.
