Tech stocks led the decline with Nvidia down 6.3%, Broadcom 7.6%, and Micron 12.7%, breaking a nine-week winning streak that had concentrated gains in semiconductors and AI-related companies.

Rising US interest rates strengthen dollar dominance and attract capital repatriation to US markets, reducing liquidity for emerging economies.
