U.S. stocks shed $3 trillion overnight. Has the AI rally suddenly taken a turn?
On November 5, U.S. stocks suffered a sharp sell-off. The S&P 500 fell 4.36%, the Nasdaq plunged 5.52%, and the Nasdaq 100 dropped more than 6%. Tech stocks including Nvidia, Micron, and AMD tumbled across the board, wiping out around $3 trillion in market value from S&P 500 constituents overnight.
Even more striking, AMD had just reported a 97% year-over-year increase in data center revenue, yet its stock plunged more than 17% that day. AI demand is still growing—so why has the market suddenly turned skeptical?
Behind this downturn, in addition to elevated tech valuations and investors taking profits, expectations around AI regulation have become a new source of pressure.
Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. have proposed pausing the development of advanced AI and tightening industry oversight. Texas’s newly elected governor had also previously advocated halting data center development until relevant legislation is strengthened. Given Texas’s significant share of U.S. data center construction, policy changes could affect future project approvals, financing, and equipment orders.
The market’s concern is not that AI demand will suddenly disappear, but that the pace of data center expansion, investment returns, and profit expectations across the supply chain may change.
The sell-off in U.S. stocks has also spilled over into crypto markets. As of the morning of November 6, BTC had fallen to around $76,000 and ETH to around $2,236, as a pullback in risk appetite spread across multiple markets.
Is this simply a valuation correction in the AI rally, or the start of a new wave of risk unwinding? Policy developments, capital spending by tech giants, and key BTC price levels are all worth watching closely.
