  • Another big tech sell-off on Wall Street brings the Nasdaq down with it.

  • Plus, Republicans pushed back on Democrat efforts to rein in ICE.

  • So congressional Republicans have said some things are reasonable,

  • the big one being the body cameras, but there are big fissures outside of that.

  • And when it comes to diplomacy with the U.S., Iran is playing hardball.

  • It's Wednesday, February 4th.

  • I'm Alex Oselev for the Wall Street Journal.

  • This is the PM edition of What's News,

  • the top headlines and business stories that move the world today.

  • Another day, another tech sell-off.

  • While the Dow finished up half a percent today, the Nasdaq closed down one and a half percent,

  • its fourth down session in the past five trading days.

  • The S&P fell two.

  • Markets reporter Hannah Aaron Lange says the declines reflect the influence the big tech companies have on the indexes.

  • This is once again really concentrated in the tech sector.

  • Most S&P 500 sectors are up today.

  • That's basically telling us that these big tech stocks that have such a huge impact on the index overall,

  • because they're enormous companies, are way on the index.

  • Names like AMD, which is a chip maker, Palantir.

  • It seems like investors are reconsidering the AI trade.
