On the afternoon of Korean time, major technology stocks are falling across the board on the New York Stock Exchange. While Meta plunged more than 6%, AMD, Intel, and SpaceX are also showing significant weakness. Apple, on the other hand, rose slightly, showing a contrasting trend.

■ Apple Alone Rises... Nasdaq Falls 1.40%, S&P 500 Down 0.78%

In contrast, Apple rose to $345.26, up $1.27 (0.37%) from the previous trading day. While most major tech stocks declined, Apple alone maintained an upward trend.

By index, the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.40% to 26,329.48, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.78% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.26%.

As U.S. technology stocks show broad weakness, differences are also appearing in the scale of declines and trading volumes by stock. However, it remains to be separately confirmed whether individual companies' earnings or specific geopolitical events had any impact on this decline.
