Nvidia continues to plummet, losing $430 billion in market value over two days, with Microsoft temporarily reclaiming the world's second place.

On Tuesday, Nvidia closed down 5.5%, a decline significantly greater than other major tech stocks, making it a key factor dragging down the tech sector's performance. During intraday trading on Tuesday, Microsoft's market capitalization briefly surpassed Nvidia, making it the world's second largest publicly traded company by market value. However, after Anthropic released its office suite, Microsoft's losses widened, causing it to fall behind Nvidia once again.
