Barclays traders recommend hedging against an S&P 500 decline driven by tech weakness

Barclays traders advise buying protection against a potential S&P 500 pullback, citing tech sector weakness. The S&P 500 reached a record high this week but is now declining as major tech stocks falter, with Broadcom's sell-off pressuring semiconductors. Barclays sees cheap index puts as an opportunity, noting their technical indicator suggests poor performance for the S&P 500 over the next two months.
