U.S. tech stocks fell 1.6% on August 24, 2026, the S&P 500's worst sector drop that day. The Nikkei followed, closing down 0.8% at 27,699.25, dragged by electronics. The pattern — U.S. tech weakening first, then Tokyo's electronics — reflects how semiconductor supply chains now link the two markets tightly.
