Fed tone adds pressure
The latest Federal Reserve meeting left rates unchanged but the so-called dot plot now points to the possibility of an additional hike in 2026, while earlier expectations centered on cuts. A German-language market show highlighted that tech heavyweights such as Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon came under pressure after the announcement.
According to this market recap, the two-year US Treasury yield jumped roughly 15 basis points to around 4.21% after the Fed projections, while the ten-year yield moved close to 4.5%. Higher yields typically weigh on growth stocks by raising discount rates for future earnings.
What the chart is showing now
On the Nasdaq, Alphabet Class A shares recently traded below their short-term highs as part of a broader pullback in US megacap tech following the Fed meeting. The move comes after a strong run earlier this year, supported by enthusiasm for artificial-intelligence-related revenue opportunities.
Market data from major US exchanges show Alphabet shares still up markedly year-to-date, outpacing the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index, despite the latest consolidation phase. The stock's volatility has increased modestly in recent sessions, reflecting ongoing sensitivity to macro data and central-bank communication.
The product behind the stock
Alphabet generates most of its revenue from Google services, including Search ads, YouTube ads and Google Network ads, while also earning from Google Cloud and hardware such as Pixel phones and Nest devices. The company continues to invest heavily in generative AI features across these products.
