Stocks Plunge on AI Bubble Fears as Wall Street Warns of a 20% Correction
The Nasdaq fell over 2% Tuesday, marking the sharpest U.S. stock drop in nearly a month as tech shares tumbled. Wall Street CEOs warned of a likely correction, fueling a global sell-off that sent Japan’s Nikkei down nearly 5% and South Korea’s Kospi off 6% at one point. Bitcoin also slid below $100,000 amid the broader retreat from risk. Uncertainty over Federal Reserve policy and a prolonged U.S. government shutdown added to market jitters.
