Why Apple, Microsoft And PayPal Shares Are Falling Today

Shares of several companies in the broader tech sector, including Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL), are all trading lower on a continued market sell-off.

Growth stocks, including software and fintech names, continue to sell off in anticipation of Fed policy tightening in 2022. The technology industry has also been pressured by a recent rise in Treasury yields, together with Fed tapering concerns.
