Stocks, especially growth stocks where cash flows further in the future are more important to the story, had a good end of 2023. But the beginning of 2024 has seen more volatile stock performance thanks to mixed inflation data, and while some of the processors and graphics chips stocks have fared somewhat better, they have not been spared, with share prices down 7.3% on average over the last month.
