📊 Tariff Uncertainty Pressures Tech

Good Morning Investors,

Energy and biotechnology edged higher, suggesting a rotation toward more defensive and tangible asset exposure. The divergence highlights how capital is gravitating toward sectors tied to hard assets and cash generating cyclicals while higher multiple technology segments absorb the brunt of volatility.

The broader selloff in U.S. equities was tied to renewed tariff and legal uncertainty following recent rulings and administration commentary, developments that carry implications for global supply chains and AI infrastructure investment. Heightened policy ambiguity can amplify price swings in smaller companies, particularly those reliant on cross-border inputs or retail driven flows. Resource oriented and defensive names are showing relative resilience, while technology suppliers and heavily momentum driven names appear more sensitive to headline risk.
