Robo Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF is trading at $80.44, down 3.1% in pre-market action, extending a multi-day slide amid broader volatility in technology and AI-related sectors.
- The decline comes as investors de-risk ahead of key CPI and real earnings data scheduled for 8:30 a.m. EST, following overnight losses in Asian and European markets.
- Robotics and automation names, which are long-duration growth assets, remain under pressure due to "higher-for-longer" interest rate expectations and geopolitical tensions.
- Today's weakness follows a sharp intraday reversal on June 9, as Nasdaq futures continue to face headwinds from shifting Fed policy sentiment.
