AI selloff drives Nasdaq down 5%, S&P 500 down 3.5%, Dow down 1,200 points
A r/stocks post reports that the Nasdaq Composite fell 5% and entered correction territory on Thursday, while the S&P 500 dropped 3.5% and the Dow shed 1,200 points, or 2.25%. The post attributes the decline to continued rotation away from technology stocks and a second day of selling in AI-related chip and data-center shares, citing investor fears that a Democratic sweep could bring more regulation of the AI buildout.
