VGT is trading at $118.74 (-2.54%) amid a broad technology-sector selloff triggered by Anthropic and OpenAI leaders calling for a slowdown in advanced-AI development.

• The move has sparked concerns regarding future infrastructure and semiconductor demand, with NVIDIA and other AI-linked megacap stocks leading the weakness.
• Broader macroeconomic pressures, including rising oil prices and an upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, are weighing heavily on rate-sensitive growth stocks.
• The decline is sector-wide, with the Nasdaq Composite down 0.79% and the S&P 500 down 0.56% as semiconductor shares underperform.
