Why are BrainChip shares treading lower today?

Investors are offloading the BrainChip share price following a fall across the S&P/ASX All Technology Index (ASX: XTX).

After the United States-based Nasdaq shed 0.81% overnight, the Aussie tech sector is in sync with a 1.25% decline today.

Last week, the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) achieved some notable gains on the back of a positive economic outlook.

The United States Federal Reserve predicted that its economy will narrowly avoid a recession in 2022 and 2023.

This led to a strong rebound across global markets and a sharp turnaround from the induced selling by investors beforehand.

It's also worth mentioning that BrainChip is set to wrap up its second quarter of the 2022 financial year.

These results are expected to be released towards the back end of next month.

The pending update could provide more insight regarding the company's pathway to the commercialisation of its Akida neuromorphic platform.

Investors should keep a close eye on this.

Based on today's price, BrainChip presides a market capitalisation of around $1.59 billion.
