Dow drops 130 points | Tech sell-off resumes | Snowflake declines after IPO pop
EDITOR'S NOTE
Tech is not out of the woods yet and neither is the broader stock market.
The major U.S. averages all fell Thursday, dragged down by shares of key tech companies such as Amazon, Alphabet and Apple.
Those losses added to Big Tech's steep decline in September. Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Netflix are all down more than 10% this month. Alphabet has dropped 9% month to date. At the S&P 500 sector level, tech is down more than 8% in September.

Thursday's decline also came as traders weighed conflicting messaging over the coronavirus pandemic as well as uncertainty about further fiscal stimulus.
