  • Nasdaq Falls on AI Selloff as Nvidia Declines, Fed and Oil Risks Pressure Markets
    April 28, 2026, 2:24 PM EDT. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.44% Tuesday, underperforming the S&P 500 and Dow amid a selloff in artificial intelligence (AI)-related stocks. Shares of Nvidia, Oracle, and AMD dropped sharply following reports that OpenAI missed key internal targets, raising investor doubts about AI demand and return on investment. As major tech firms prepare to report earnings, focus intensifies on AI budgets and cloud growth. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices rose above $110 a barrel due to geopolitical tensions at the Strait of Hormuz, adding inflation concerns. The Federal Reserve's upcoming decision and sustained high oil prices contribute to market unease.
