Wall Street's main indexes dropped on Friday as AI anxiety hammered technology stocks, with the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 on pace for their steepest monthly loss since March 2025, while hotter-than-expected inflation data also weakened sentiment.

Technology shares faced selling pressure this month as concerns over high valuations and the uncertain payoff from Big Tech's massive AI spending grew.
