The week started on a sour note for the Nasdaq 100, which slipped by 1%, erasing the gains made last Friday when the index rallied following Fed Chair Jerome Powell‘s hint at a possible rate cut during his much-anticipated speech at Jackson Hole.
Monday brought no significant news or economic data directly impacting tech stocks, reflecting a cooling of risk sentiment after the tech-heavy index had surged over 14% since its August lows.
Two main factors weighed on the Nasdaq 100 on Monday, as tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ): the decline in semiconductor stocks and the sharp plunge in PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PDD).
Investors took a cautious stance on semiconductor stocks ahead of the highly anticipated earnings report from Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), set to be released Wednesday after the market close.
A basket of chipmaker stocks, as tracked by the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:SOXX), dropped 2.5% on Monday, unable to hold above its 200-day moving average.
Since semiconductor stocks represent nearly a quarter of the Nasdaq 100’s portfolio, they alone accounted for a 0.7 percentage point drop in the index’s performance for the day.
The other significant drag on the index was the Chinese retail giant PDD Holdings, which plummeted by 28.5% on disappointing earnings results, dragging down the Nasdaq 100 by an additional 0.25 percentage points.

| Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) | 5.15 | -4.03 | -0.21 |
