Let's take a look at which ASX tech shares are suffering and what might be weighing on the sector.
What's dragging ASX tech shares lower today?
Shares in some of the market's favourite tech shares are plummeting on Friday for no obvious reason.
The Zip Co Ltd (ASX: Z1P) share price is being pummelled. It's currently falling 12.3% to trade at $1.64 – its lowest point in nearly 2 years.
The Block Inc CDI (ASX: SQ2) share price is also struggling today. It's currently down 9.52% to $152.46.
Meanwhile, shares in EML Payments Ltd (ASX: EML), Tyro Payments Ltd (ASX: TYR), and Novonix Ltd (ASX: NVX) are down 6.3%, 5%, and 4% respectively.
The ASX tech sector's suffering might be being driven by similar struggles in the US market overnight. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQ: .IXIC) slumped 1.6% on Thursday.
Block's New York-based listing (Block Inc (NYSE: SQ)) also tumbled 8.1% while most of Australia slept.
