Nasdaq Leads Broad Selloff as 10-Year Yield Slips Below 5%
IXIC sits 26% above its 52-week low of $20,690.249.
Summary
Tech stocks led major indexes lower Thursday as investors rotated into bonds, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield below 5%. The AI trade took the brunt of it: Meta led hyperscaler losses and the PHLX Semiconductor index fell as investors questioned the sustainability of debt-fueled AI buildouts. Oil added to the pressure, with Brent on track for its highest settle since May after fresh strikes on Saudi Arabia and reports of U.S.-Israeli plans for renewed attacks on Iran. This extends the pattern from earlier in the week, when AI debt fears and a 6.2% drop in Meta already dragged the Nasdaq down 2.3%. The combination of rising energy costs and a hard look at AI capex financing is what's driving the de-risking, not a single company event.
