Tech stocks are taking a beat on Monday, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 is down 0.60%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is trading at record highs, up 0.50%.
Tech stocks are continuing their slide from last week as investors rotate into other areas. The decline in tech mirrored a rise in financials, as many of the major Wall Street firms were higher on Monday after the US Senate passed their version of a tax overhaul.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed early on Saturday and lowers the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20%, which could provide a boost to corporate earnings. The bill also allows companies to pay a 10% tax on deferred cash (or cash-equivalent) earnings, and 5% on reinvested earnings in order to bring back cash stashed overseas.
The bill still has to be reconciled with the House version of the bill before being sent to the president.
