- Tech stocks are selling off in a broad rout tied to AI concerns, with Yahoo Finance framing the selloff as "losing steam" even as other outlets describe ongoing investor flight from the sector.
- Investors are fleeing to safer assets across multiple markets: Treasury yields are falling as bond prices rise, the Dow and Treasurys are climbing, and the euro is gaining against a weakened dollar, per CNBC, Reuters, and the WSJ.
Why it matters: The AI-driven selloff triggered a capital rotation out of tech and the dollar into Treasurys (yields falling), the Dow, and the euro — punishing AI-heavy portfolios while rewarding bond holders, European-currency exposure, and non-tech equities.
