Wall Street’s selloff in tech heavyweights dragged down global markets on Wednesday, as investors cashed in gains from the leaders of the post-April rally.
Europe’s Stoxx 600 dropped 0.1% after closing within a whisker of an all-time high on Tuesday. Technology stocks fell as much as 0.9% before paring the loss. Investors took shelter in defensive sectors, with real estate and utility stocks among the biggest gainers. Asian stocks retreated 0.7%
Elsewhere, UK inflation climbed to an 18-month high on the back of surging food, fuel and transport prices, putting the Bank of England under pressure to reconsider the pace of interest-rate cuts. Consumer prices rose 3.8% from a year earlier, up from 3.6% in June and the fastest pace since January 2024, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday.
