More: background
“Big‑tech” refers to the largest technology companies whose stocks often drive market trends. Recent enthusiasm for artificial‑intelligence projects has led investors to pour money into AI‑focused firms, while vendor financing—where suppliers provide credit to buyers—has re‑emerged, amplifying both gains and losses in the sector.
