WALL STREET LOSES $2.5 TRILLION AS AI INVESTMENT FEARS TRIGGER BIGGEST US STOCK MARKET SELL - OFF SINCE APRIL 2025

What happened: US stocks sold off sharply on Thursday as concerns about a slowdown in AI-related investment erased the post-election rally, with technology shares leading the decline. Key numbers: About USD 2.5 trillion in market value wiped out. Nasdaq fell 5.52 per cent to 24,315.00, more than 10 per cent below last month's record. Why it matters: The Nasdaq posted its worst single-day fall since April 2025, and the S&P 500 and Dow had their worst sessions since then. Keith Lerner of Truist Advisory Services called the moves more of a knee-jerk reaction than a clear signal. Coverage: 3 outlets in 24h
