- The slide has been driven by rising oil (Strait of Hormuz tensions) and a reversal of the AI/data‑center trade that had boosted equipment and chip makers, hurting names like GE Vernova, Eaton and Caterpillar.
- Offsets include signs of investor capitulation flagged by BofA, still‑solid manufacturing and earnings forecasts, and strength in farm‑equipment stocks (Deere), so this may be a short correction rather than a major downturn.
