Stocks linked to data centres tumble as investors anticipate more regulation and Congressional oversight
Investors on Wall Street continued to rotate out of tech stocks on Thursday, reversing a brief post-election rally as the Nasdaq Composite fell into correction territory.
The tech-heavy index had declined 4.17 per cent as of 10.43am ET. The S&P 500 slid 2.68 per cent and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 880 points, or 1.65 per cent, erasing roughly half of the previous session's gains that followed a stunning Democratic midterm sweep.

The chip bellwether Nvidia declined 7 per cent, while Broadcom tumbled 8 per cent.
