  • Tech Stocks Drag Wall Street Lower as Gold and Silver Prices Rebound
    February 3, 2026, 4:51 PM EST. U.S. stocks fell amid mixed trading on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 declining 0.8% and the Nasdaq dropping 1.4%, weighed down by major tech companies like Nvidia and Microsoft. Concerns over inflated tech valuations and competition from artificial intelligence impacted software stocks, exemplified by a 7% fall in ServiceNow. Despite this, Palantir Technologies surged 6.8% on strong earnings and optimistic revenue growth forecasts. Meanwhile, gold and silver prices rebounded sharply, with gold rising 6.1% and silver climbing 8.2%, recovering from a recent steep sell-off driven by expectations of higher U.S. interest rates under the Federal Reserve's new leadership. This rebound reflects gold and silver's role as safe-haven assets amid market uncertainties and currency pressures.
