Summary
MSCI’s emerging-markets technology index rose more than 90% in the first six months of 2026, making it the top performer among the firm’s sector-specific gauges.
That gain far outpaced MSCI’s European technology index, up 44.8%, and its U.S. technology index, which advanced 19.4% despite a late-June sell-off.
The broader regional comparison showed the same pattern: the Stoxx 600 Technology index climbed 23.4% from January to June, ahead of the S&P 500 Information Technology index’s 19.4% rise.
U.S. tech still posted solid returns, with the Nasdaq 100 adding 19.9% in H1, but international markets led the sector’s global rally.
