what happened
Wall Street tumbled on Friday as CoreWeave, Broadcom and other AI-related technology stocks came under renewed pressure, while a jump in oil prices unsettled traders ahead of the weekend, according to ru.tradingview.com. The Nasdaq was on track for a weekly loss of more than 4%. CoreWeave shares fell 12%, bringing its loss over the past five sessions to about 25%, and the company's bonds sold off sharply, pushing yields above 15%.
The S&P 500 fell 1.22% to 7,649.71 points, the Nasdaq declined 2.19% to 26,128.13 points, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.55% to 51,891.77 points. Oil rose more than 3% on Middle East supply concerns.
why it matters
Investors worry that heavily indebted AI infrastructure companies may not turn profits in time to repay their debts, especially as borrowing costs are expected to rise. Rob Haworth of U.S. Bank Wealth Management said high oil prices tend to weigh on stock valuations. Barclays now expects 25-basis-point Fed hikes in December and January.
market impact
AI and tech stocks: pressure from debt concerns and higher rate expectations; oil: support from Middle East supply worries
