WS #16998
The Nasdaq has entered a correction phase driven by a fundamental reassessment of AI valuations. Investors are selling off high-multiple tech stocks, including Nvidia and Apple, as the market shifts focus from growth narratives to profitability and regulatory headwinds. This selloff is being amplified by political uncertainty following the US midterm elections, with investors wary of potential antitrust actions and increased regulation under a Democratic-controlled Congress. The flight to quality is evident in the strong performance of Treasury bonds, which are seeing increased demand as equities are liquidated.
