July 24 - Wall Street fell on Wednesday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading declines after lackluster quarterly results from Tesla and Alphabet raised questions about the sustainability of the Big Tech and AI-led 2024 equity rally.
Alphabet's losses underscored the high earnings bar for the so-called Magnificent Seven, a set of megacap tech stocks that have notched double- and triple-digit percentage gains so far in 2024, riding on the optimism around AI adoption and expectations of an early start to the Federal Reserve's interest-rate cuts.
Chary of the high valuation of these companies, market participants started shifting to underperforming sectors in mid-July. Morrison sounded a note of caution, saying broad megacap declines could drag the entire market down. In economic data, S&P Global's flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index showed business activity climbed to a 27-month high in July.
