Why Fintech Stocks Crashed Today
Shares of fintech stocks Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST), Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), and SoFi (NASDAQ: SOFI) were in crash mode today, with each down between 8% and 9% as of 2:27 p.m. ET.
Lately, these beaten-down fintech stocks have been among the most volatile to both the upside and the downside, and their movements are largely based on macroeconomic news.
Today happened to be a big down day in the market following yesterday's big rally, as interest rate and recession fears, along with perhaps some end-of-quarter liquidations by hedge funds, likely played a role in their synchronous decline.
