Billionaire "bond king" Bill Gross told investors to avoid tech stocks and stick to value stocks.
Microsoft is the only buy if investors must dabble in the tech sector, he said.
In a post on X, the "bond king" said, "Stick to value stocks, avoid tech for now."
Bond yields jumped on the data, and the tech sector dropped, with the Nasdaq Composite down more than 1% Thursday afternoon.
The stock sold off sharply, down by over 10% late Thursday, helping to drag the tech sector lower.
