Minus $767 billion in a day: Mag7 shares are close to the biggest drop in more than a yearPapers from the largest U.S. technology companies of the “Magnificent Seven” are close to the largest one-day decline in more than a year. According to Bloomberg estimates, during the selloff on July 23 they together already lost around $767 billion in market value. U.S. markets plunged on Thursday under pressure from sharply devalued shares of Tesla and Alphabet from the Mag7. The day before, both companies published quarterly results that, as Bloomberg writes, cast doubt on the durability of the AI trend—exactly this trend has been driving the stock market forward over the past three years.
