The Dow Jones Industrial Average noted a sharp decline, marking its steepest weekly drop since March 2023. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices have fallen for four straight weeks.
The market downturn is compounded by macroeconomic pressures. In the tech sector, Intel’s leadership change with Lip-Bu Tan appointed as CEO affects its stock positively.

Historically, similar declines have occurred during periods of economic uncertainty and policy adjustments. Political events have previously triggered similar market responses.
