what happened
A slump in technology shares, triggered by waning faith in the artificial intelligence trade, is putting global markets to the test from New York to Taipei, TradingView reports. The Nasdaq 100 gained close to 2% on Friday, recovering part of Thursday's drop of more than 6%, but traders remain wary. The VIX volatility index climbed above 28 on Thursday, its highest since late March, and has jumped over 40% this week. The rise looks modest next to the spikes after the April 2025 Liberation Day tariffs and the August 2024 selloff.
The credit market sends a louder warning. Protection against a default on CoreWeave debt, a neocloud operator, has moved into distressed territory, with five-year credit default swap spreads above 1,000 basis points at record highs. Swap premiums for SpaceX and Intel also rose this week. Ten-year Treasury yields have slipped about 50 basis points from last month's peaks above 5%, pointing to demand for safe assets.
why it matters
For markets, the stress is so far concentrated in high-yield credit and the derivatives tied to it, while government bonds and currencies look calmer. If volatility keeps rising or access to funding tightens, the picture could change. For now the signals are mixed: several gauges warn, yet no systemic breakdown is visible.
