Global stock markets fell sharply as a major decline in technology shares and renewed attacks in the Middle East heightened investor uncertainty worldwide.
Major indexes across the United States, Europe, and Asia closed lower after heavy selling in leading tech companies. Analysts said concerns over slowing growth in the technology sector, combined with escalating geopolitical tensions, negatively affected market sentiment.
Investors also remained worried about the possible impact of Middle East instability on global oil supplies and energy prices. Experts warned that continued regional tensions could create further volatility in international financial markets.
Market analysts said traders are closely watching developments in the Middle East, as well as upcoming economic data and corporate earnings reports, as investors seek signs of stability in the global economy.
