Global equity markets are under pressure, with European indices like the DAX trading in the red and Asian markets reflecting deepening AI jitters. The weak debut of Elice in Seoul, combined with the shelving of three data-center IPOs in October, indicates that investors are questioning the sustainability of AI capex spending in a high-rate, high-oil environment. Luxury real estate sales in Dubai have also fallen from record levels, suggesting that wealth effects are reversing as geopolitical uncertainty mounts. This broad risk-off sentiment is weighing on growth stocks and consumer discretionary names globally.
