The Nasdaq Composite Index reached a record high on 9 June 2017, before closing down 1.8 per cent amid bearish sentiment toward technology stocks. Shares in Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google parent Alphabet shed 3-5 per cent. The sell-off was prompted by a range of factors, including a report from Goldman Sachs suggesting that many US technology stocks are overvalued. Analysts have downplayed comparisons with the "tech wreck", while Bruce McCain of Key Private Bank says a pullback in the sector was inevitable.
