WiseTech Global Ltd (WTC.AU) saw its stock price plummet by 5.23% during intraday trading on Thursday, as Australian technology stocks faced broad selling pressure.
The decline in WiseTech Global followed weakness in the tech-heavy NASDAQ index, which closed lower on Wednesday. This negative sentiment spilled over to the Australian market, dragging down the local technology sub-index to its lowest level in nearly a month. The sector has been under pressure for two consecutive sessions, with major players like WiseTech Global and Xero both experiencing significant declines.
Year-to-date, the Australian technology sub-index has underperformed the broader market benchmark, highlighting the ongoing challenges facing the tech sector amid global market volatility.
