Has the tech bubble burst? Why the Nasdaq’s rough ride looks eerily like 2000.
The Nasdaq index plunged over 5% on Friday, marking its biggest drop since March 2020 and raising disturbing parallels with the dot-com bubble burst of 2000.
Friday's significant drop in the Nasdaq has sparked comparisons to the market turbulence that preceded the dot-com bubble burst. The index's 5.1% decline represents the steepest fall since the pandemic-induced market crash in March 2020.
The magnitude of this downturn has erased approximately $1.6 billion in market value from technology companies in just one trading session. This sudden volatility has raised concerns among investors about the sustainability of current tech valuations.
The question now is whether this marks the beginning of a more significant correction in the technology sector.
