What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Investors moved holdings out of technology and into the consumer staples sector, driven by growing fear of the AI bubble since July. This shift was accompanied by a short squeeze affecting companies like Molson Coors Beverage, Kimberly-Clark, Post Holdings, and Freshpet. In the credit services sector, Mastercard, American Express, and Visa showed strong uptrends, with investors preferring established credit card names over lenders like Affirm Holdings or Upstart Holdings.
