Nvidia has faced a historic loss of $279 billion in market value, marking the largest single-day drop for any U.S. company. The decline was triggered by a broader sell-off on Wall Street, reflecting investor concerns about the tech sector and economic uncertainties. Nvidia's shares fell by 9.5% after its recent quarterly forecast, which, despite exceeding expectations, failed to reassure investors who had driven the stock to record highs earlier in the year. This drop has sparked worries about the sustainability of AI-driven growth, especially as other tech giants like Microsoft and Alphabet also saw their shares decline.

The market's reaction is tied to broader economic anxieties, including weak manufacturing data and speculation about the Federal Reserve's next move on interest rates. As investors adjust their expectations, the overall market, including indices like the Nasdaq and S&P 500, has experienced significant losses, deepening concerns about the near-term outlook for tech stocks.

Additionally, other semiconductor companies such as Intel and Broadcom also saw declines, reflecting the widespread impact of these economic concerns. Investors are now focusing on upcoming economic data and the Federal Reserve's policy decisions, which could further influence market trends in the coming weeks.
