- Stocks dropped after the 10-year Treasury yield reached 5%, with oil prices also rising and the Nasdaq declining as AI-related names slid, according to CNBC's live updates
- AI executives publicly called for an industry slowdown, triggering a slump in tech stocks and chipmakers that drove the broader market selloff reported by Yahoo Finance and Bloomberg
