Global equity markets are undergoing a synchronized tech-led selloff, with the Nasdaq dropping 5.5% and Asian indices following suit. The sell-off is attributed to a repricing of AI valuation multiples in the wake of the Democratic midterm landslide, which signals potential regulatory headwinds for the sector. Chipmakers and AI infrastructure stocks are leading the decline, with the Nikkei entering a bear market and European indices opening sharply lower. Apple shares are tumbling as the company warns that soaring memory chip prices are significantly impacting its hardware margins. This specific cost-push inflation is compounding the broader tech selloff, as investors realize that even dominant players are vulnerable to supply chain cost spikes. The trend is mirrored in the broader semiconductor sector, with Micron and other chipmakers seeing sharp declines.
