  • Stock Market Update June 9: Nasdaq Slumps Amid Tech Sell-Off and Risk-Off Sentiment

Broadcom, Micron, AMD, and Intel led the losses, while Microsoft and Apple also fell despite new partnerships and AI capability concerns, respectively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average marginally rose 0.17% after a late recovery.
