  • FTSE 100 falls as Amazon earnings worsen tech sector sell-off
    February 6, 2026, 4:37 AM EST. The FTSE 100 and European markets dropped amid a persistent tech sell-off triggered by Amazon's earnings report. Amazon shares plunged about 11% after hours due to a forecasted surge in capital expenditure, including $200 billion on artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives in 2026. This heavy spending has unsettled investors worried about returns. Major tech firms like Microsoft, Google, and Meta also plan significant AI investments this year, totaling over $630 billion. Market watchers note AI's impact on software pricing power is pressuring software-as-a-service stocks. Investors are shifting from expensive growth shares to defensive sectors such as consumer staples, energy, and industrials. London's FTSE 100 fell 0.4%, Germany's DAX lost 0.3%, CAC 0.4%, and the STOXX 600 declined 0.2%. Futures point to a weak Wall Street open, while the pound gained 0.2% against the dollar.
