US equities markets saw notable weakness in technology hardware sectors on Tuesday, with significant declines across semiconductor and computer stocks putting pressure on the broader indices.

Semiconductor Sector Under Pressure

The semiconductor group declined approximately 1.8% on the day, with several individual names posting steep losses. Canadian Solar shares tumbled roughly 7.2%, becoming one of the worst performers in the group. Magnachip Semiconductor also struggled considerably, trading down about 6.8% as selling interest persisted throughout the session.

Computing Hardware Stocks Trail Market

Computer stocks followed a similar bearish trend, retreating about 1.6% as a collective group. The sector’s weakness was anchored by two major storage solution providers: SanDisk plummeted approximately 9.3%, while Western Digital declined roughly 6.3% during Tuesday’s trading.

The dual sector underperformance reflects broader investor caution toward technology-related hardware plays, with semiconductor and computing equipment companies bearing the brunt of Tuesday’s market rotation away from these growth-sensitive names.
