What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Shares linked to the artificial intelligence trend experienced a rout last week, with the Nasdaq tumbling 4.5% and the S&P 500 losing nearly 2%. Concerns centered on the health of the AI trade and how the next wave of data centers would be financed. CoreWeave stock plummeted 25% last week, and its credit default swaps reached distress levels.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The selloff reflects investor questioning regarding the ability of heavily financed data-center businesses to sustain growth. Goldman Sachs noted that AI credit spreads are currently at wide levels, suggesting heightened risk in the sector. Meanwhile, TSMC reported strong third-quarter revenue of $46.72 billion, up 41.2% from a year earlier, driven by chip demand.
