AI Slowdown Call and Oil Spike Slam Stocks; 10-Year Yield Tops 5%
IXIC sits 27% above its 52-week low of $20,690.249.
Summary
The Nasdaq fell 0.56% to 26,186.41 as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a slowdown in AI development, adding to pressure from a 1.3% rise in oil to $101.39. Saudi Arabia shut down an East-West pipeline, and Houthi threats to the Bab el-Mandeb strait kept supply fears alive. The 10-year Treasury yield topped 5% intraday for the first time since 2023, and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is now widely expected to raise rates to 3.75%-4% on Wednesday. This follows a weekend of negative developments including Brent crude surging above $107. The combination of AI concerns, energy-driven inflation, and a hawkish Fed outlook is a fresh negative for tech-heavy indexes.
