“Investors are clearly worried about inflation due to supply chain disruptions and the rally in energy prices,” said Vasu Menon, executive director of investment strategy at OCBC Bank.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.94% to 34,002.92, the S&P 500 lost 1.30% to 4,300.46 and the Nasdaq composite dropped 2.14% to 14,255.49 as investors dumped Big Tech stocks in the face of rising treasury yields.
