Why Did Tech Stocks Crash in Early October?

Why Did Tech Stocks Crash in Early October?

October started with a sharp drop in the stock markets as the Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points to 2.25%. This was the highest interest rate level since 2008 when the Fed cut rates to near zero to tackle the recession. The stock market reacted after a few days as investors adjusted their financial models.
