Earlier on the 7th, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a regulation banning the export of semiconductor-related products to China to prevent the supply of advanced semiconductors to China’s supercomputer and artificial intelligence (AI) industries. As a result, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, which indexed related companies such as semiconductor equipment and equipment, recorded the lowest level in two years.
There were also hawkish remarks from Fed officials. “Monetary policy will be limited for a while,” Fed Vice Chairman Rael Brainard said at an event in Chicago. He added that the Fed is aware of the impact of rate hikes on the US and global economy. The Fed’s policy of raising interest rates has not been maintained for some time.
Remarks from other Fed officials also added to the momentum for rate hikes.

After that, he added that it should remain above the neutral rate and at levels slowing the economy.
Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer of the Independent Advisors Alliance, told CNBC: “The direction of the stock market is because we expect economic and corporate earnings to slow to a meaningful level or the Fed raises rates higher and is expected to remain at high levels for a longer period of time. is likely to be lower.”
As a result, technology stocks, which are directly affected by interest rate hikes, fell sharply. As interest rates rise, the cost of capital for tech stocks rises. For example, semiconductor stocks fell. △Nvidia (-3.36%) △AMD (-1.08%) △Qualcomm (-5.22%) and △Intel (-2.02%) all slipped.
International oil prices fell on fears of a decrease in demand due to the economic downturn.
