Shares of tech stocks have been volatile in the month of June amid an overall market selloff partially generated by worse-than-expected U.S. May inflation data. The all items index CPI datapoint increased 8.6 percent for the 12 months ending May, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending December 1981.
Inflation concerns have weighed on the economic outlook and have also raised expectations for further Fed rate hikes. A rise in treasury yields has also weighed on tech and growth stock valuations.
According to data from Benzinga Pro, AMD is trading lower by 3.96% to $77.58. Nvidia is trading lower by 3.44% to $154.30.
