Hedge funds post steepest daily losses since Covid amid tech selloff

Hedgeweek, citing a Reuters report, said global hedge funds suffered their steepest daily losses since the Covid-era turmoil as a technology selloff forced deleveraging and unwinding of AI-related positions. It said all three Goldman Sachs-tracked strategies fell more than 1% on 22 October, the first same-day drop of that size since the pandemic. The report cited AI infrastructure spending concerns, with Meta down 7%, Nvidia down 4% and the Nasdaq Composite down 2.6%.
