AI Stocks Lose Five Trillion, Market
Tap title to read story
The AI trade experienced its most severe October decline in years, with the largest AI and chip stocks shedding about five trillion dollars in market value since October six.
Nvidia and Alphabet each gave up roughly eight hundred thirty-five billion dollars, while Intel lost nearly half its value during the month.
The remaining six hundred twenty-five large U.S. stocks added about one point three trillion.
Despite the S&P 500 slipping this week, nine of its eleven sectors rose one percent or more, a pattern not seen since at least nineteen ninety-nine.
Jeff Hirsch, editor of the Stock Trader’s Almanac, views the October sell‑off as an opportunity, noting that such downturns historically precede a sweet spot in the presidential election cycle.
