The software sector's deepening selloff on Wednesday failed to lure bargain hunters, with the dip-buying reflex that has rescued countless ​tech routs conspicuously absent. After a broad selloff on Tuesday that saw the S&P 500 ‌software and services index fall nearly 4%, the sector slipped another 1% on Wednesday, down for a sixth-straight session, extending ‌a decline that has shifted from AI optimism to disruption fears. Unlike other recent market slides, where investors have been quick to snap up battered shares, the worst selloff in the sector since 2022, when rising rates hammered software stocks, invited few buyers.
