Article Abstract:
The Nasdaq composite index has recorded a nosedive by falling 84.37 points, or 2.3%, to 3585.01. The decline is attributed to the plummeting prices of technology stocks as investors refused to invest back into the sector in anticipation of higher interest rates. Another factor that contributed to the decline in the Nasdaq composite index is that technology stocks still remain too expensive despite the bear market that has left the index at 29% off high.

Wall Street is rattled by the heightened turmoil in the Middle east and the threat to world oil supplies. Crude oil prices have risen by 8.5% to $36.06 per barrel. The Dow Jones industrial averaged plummeted 379 points on Oct 12, 2000, is fifth-biggest point loss ever. Similarly, the Nasdaq composite and Standard and Poor's 500 closed at their lowest levels in 2000. The plunging stock prices are attributable to news of an alleged terrorist strike against a US destroyer in Yemen and increased violence between Palestinians and Israelis.
