By the Numbers
Wall Street moved further away from its all-time high on Tuesday. AI stocks fell again. The S&P 500 index fell 0.5% and was on track for its third consecutive modest loss after setting its all-time high on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1% and lost 56 points at 12:25 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 1.1%. The big winners around the AI technology boom led the decline, as they swung on concerns that their prices had gotten too high during the AI frenzy over the summer and that strong demand for data centers could weaken if AI's promised profits don't materialize. Micron Technology fell 7% and became one of the heaviest weights in the S&P 500, and chip companies like Nvidia and Broadcom also fell. Nvidia fell 2.4%, and Broadcom fell 2.9%. AI stocks, despite recent fluctuations, are still big winners. Micron has more than tripled this year. However, critics say these stocks are overvalued and AI may not be as profitable as promised.
