Tech layoffs near 2 lakh globally in 2026 as Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Meta and peers pivot to AI

AI Market Summary
Nearly 196,000 tech layoffs in 2026, with Intel cutting 15% of staff and Cisco shedding over 4,000 roles, confirm a structural capital shift toward AI automation. Near-term, such cuts are margin-accretive for large-cap tech, but the scale signals weakening legacy enterprise spending and softening labour demand. Watch whether AI capex offsets the consumer-spending drag, keeping tech-index volatility elevated.
