Why Micron Shares Are Falling Today

Micron Technology, Inc. MU shares are trading lower by 4.17% to $63.27. Shares of technology and software companies are trading lower amid an overall market selloff following worse-than-expected US May inflation data. Inflation concerns have weighed on the economic outlook and have also raised expectations for further Fed rate hikes. A rise in treasury yields has also weighed on tech and growth stock valuations.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the all-items CPI figure increased 8.6 percent for the 12 months ending May, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending December 1981.
