Tech stocks lead global sell-off as AI chip trade loses investor confidence; Airbnb CEO hacked
Global markets experienced a steep sell-off led by technology stocks, triggered by disappointing earnings from TSMC and Netflix, with investors viewing the AI chip sector as overbought. The tech-heavy Nikkei 225 fell 4.03% and South Korea's KOSPI dropped 6.37%. Meanwhile, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky's X account was hacked in an AI-generated 'slop attack' promoting crypto tokenization, which was flagged as 100% AI-generated. Apollo Global Management's Torsten Sløk warned that if AI hyperscalers' revenues disappoint, it could tip the economy into recession. UBS remains bullish, forecasting the S&P 500 to reach 7,900 by year-end. Oil prices stayed in the mid-$80s amid geopolitical tensions.
