What happened
Following a sharp sell-off in US technology stocks, Indian AI-linked companies saw shares decline by up to 5% on November 2, 2026, amid concerns over valuations and infrastructure costs. On November 6, 2026, Indian equity indices opened marginally higher despite heavy losses in US technology stocks, with foreign institutional investors purchasing equities worth Rs 35,781 crore in the preceding five trading sessions.
Why it matters
The market decline was linked to concerns that substantial investments in AI infrastructure might not generate adequate financial returns. The sharp drop in the Nasdaq 100, which fell 5.6% on November 6, 2026, was attributed to worries over data center spending, particularly because Democrats oppose massive data center investment.
Concerns over AI profitability drove market sell-off, leading Asian investors to hedge against AI decline, while AI remains a top theme in China.
