Wall St posts 3rd week of declines as tech slide drags on


Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp, Amazon.com Inc and Alphabet Inc., which helped to fuel the market's rally off the March lows, were among the biggest drags on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq on Friday, while the S&P 500 technology index fell 1.7%, the biggest weight among the S&P 500 sectors. Apple was down 3.2%.

NEW YORK: U.S. stocks fell on Friday as technology shares sold off for a third day in a row, while all three major U.S. indexes posted a third straight week of declines.

It was the Nasdaq's first such weekly streak since August 2019, and S&P 500 and Dow's first since early October 2019.
