The FTSE 250 fell 1.2%, and AIM All-Share dropped 1.5%. The S&P Global UK composite output index missed expectations at 49.4, signaling ongoing economic softness, especially in services. The pound weakened against the dollar but strengthened slightly versus the euro. US markets saw significant tech declines with Nasdaq down 2%, led by plunges in Micron (-11%), AMD (-5.9%), and Nvidia (-3.8%), reflecting investor concerns over the sustainability of AI-driven investment growth. Asian markets followed suit with notable tech sell-offs. Micron's upcoming earnings report is viewed as a key indicator for the AI capital expenditure outlook.
