The technology sector is trading lower in the pre-market session, primarily influenced by negative sentiment surrounding a board investigation into Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, which has weighed on the heavyweight chipmaker's stock. This is compounded by broader caution across the sector as investors await the release of the key October Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation report later this morning. While some individual tech stocks are reacting to their earnings reports, the overall negative tone is being set by the uncertainty around a major industry leader and macroeconomic concerns.
