What happened
The AI safety debate has become a political flashpoint, with the issue being discussed at a meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Separately, Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with tech CEOs and House Speaker Johnson on AI regulation on September 29. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate despite Donald Trump's demands for cuts.
Why it matters
Pressure is mounting for government oversight of frontier AI firms, though a meeting on September 29 is expected to reinforce the status quo. This regulatory uncertainty, combined with 10-year Treasury yields above 5.1% and the Federal Reserve's rate hike, is putting pressure on tech stocks.
