Individual investors heavily sell stocks

The U.S. stock markets experienced the highest level of selling by individual investors since the COVID pandemic, recording the largest daily net sales since then. The selling was primarily focused on memory chip companies such as Micron Technology, SanDisk, Seagate, and Western Digital, which accounted for 88% of total sales worth $213 million on that day. Despite daily trading volume reaching a record average of $15.7 billion, investor behavior has become more selective and discerning, with a tendency to reduce exposure to individual stocks and shift toward exchange-traded funds. This shift could increase volatility in the well-known stocks if their earnings results turn out to be negative. This change in behavior reflects a risk-aware stance and a focus on minimizing market exposure amid volatility.
