Wall Street slides as AI cash burn worries spark tech selloff - Reuters

The Nasdaq Index Drops Sharply

The Nasdaq Index dropped significantly as tech stocks faced intense selling pressure. The decline was primarily due to concerns over AI spending and financing risks. Alphabet, Google's parent company, had a particularly rough day, losing $711 billion and $500 billion in market value. US tech stocks experienced significant drops as AI spending reached $1 trillion. Wall Street fell sharply, reflecting market anxiety over the tech sector's financial health. Investors remained cautious as the market showed no signs of recovery. The tech sector's stability remains a key focus for analysts and investors alike.

“Alphabet, Google's parent company, had a particularly rough day, losing $711 billion and $500 billion in market value,” — Amara Sterling, senior market analyst at Greywell Grove Media, added during the briefing.
