Wall Street Tech Selloff: Nasdaq Crashes 2.86% as AI Boom Faces Reality Check

The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.86% on October 30, marking its steepest single-day percentage decline since June 5. The sharp fall came after disappointing earnings from major technology companies, including Intel and Amazon.

The decline reflects growing concerns among investors about the massive spending on Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure and whether these investments will generate enough returns in the future.

Big tech companies are investing billions of dollars in AI chips, data centres and infrastructure. However, investors are becoming cautious as the returns from these investments remain uncertain.

The Nasdaq has now fallen 7.8% from its record closing high of October 6, showing increasing pressure on technology stocks.

Rising AI costs and uncertain returns are creating nervousness among investors, raising questions about whether the AI-driven market rally can continue.
