The stock market is showing signs of a shift away from the dominance of big technology stocks, particularly the “Magnificent 7.” On Tuesday, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite made gains, the Russell 2000, which represents smaller-cap stocks, significantly outperformed with a 3.5% increase. Notably, four of the seven major tech stocks, including Alphabet, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Meta Platforms, experienced declines. This trend suggests a broadening of market performance beyond the tech giants that have led much of the recent market rally, potentially indicating a more diverse and balanced market environment.
