ASX tech shares led the market last week
The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) went into a downward spiral after reaching a new record on 19 September.
The tech index closed at 2,370 points on Friday, representing a 22.5% fall over 10 weeks.
Concerns over US tech stock valuations and whether artificial intelligence (AI) is creating a market bubble explain only part of the story.
Wilsons Advisory equity strategist Greg Burke says domestic factors are mostly to blame for the sell-off in ASX 200 tech shares.
High valuations and a sell-off in Aussie bonds amid virtually no chance of another interest rate cut this year have also played a role.
