The stock market is experiencing a downturn as investors react to recent inflation data and anticipate the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting. The S&P 500, which hit a record high earlier in the week, has pulled back following higher-than-expected inflation figures. The market's robust performance this year has been driven by economic resilience, excitement over artificial intelligence, and hopes for a Fed rate cut. However, as of Friday, technology stocks, including major players like Microsoft, Salesforce, Amazon, and Cisco Systems, have faced significant selling pressure, contributing to the overall market decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite have all seen losses, with the S&P 500's year-to-date gain reduced to 8%.
