As the Wall Street Journal reports, the stock market has been showing marked signs of "fragility," with Nvidia slipping seven percent last week. Despite signs of an end to the ongoing federal shutdown buoying up some excitement, the AI chipmaker continued its plunge this week, sliding another three percent on Tuesday. Meta shares have also fallen almost 17 percent since its quarterly earnings report late last month, despitethe companybeating investors' expectations.

Wall Street traders drove stocks lower amid a selloff in tech shares that have powered the surge from April's meltdown. That's despite economic data that did little to alter bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts, with bonds and the dollar seeing small moves. Equities fell after a rally that drove the S&P 500 to all-time highs. The market is bracing for what has historically been the weakest month for US shares.
