Global AI Stocks Selloff In Focus

The technology and consumer electronics sectors were the biggest of the losers, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix down over 13%. The Nikkei 225 in Japan also finished almost 4% down.

However, chipmakers continued to be on the defensive in the U.S. following NVIDIA’s 5% slide on Monday. NVIDIA lost its spot to Apple as the world’s most valuable publicly listed company. Investors took a fresh look at the AI infrastructure spending and financing of data centers on Tuesday, driving shares of Intel Corp., AMD, Sandisk Corp., Western Digital Corp., and Seagate Technology Corp. down by more than 4% each.
