Meanwhile, the rotation out of tech stocks into cyclicals continues in light trading. By the close, the Nasdaq was -1.89%, posting its longest losing streak since early March. The S&amp;P was -0.8%, marking its worst performance since July 23, and the Dow closed -0.38%. The FANG stocks and other tech names sold off.
