17:15 11/05 UTC — Bearish
Equity markets are enduring a severe intraday selloff dominated by tech and semiconductor weakness. Panic sentiment across social channels is rising on fears of an AI bubble unwinding and forced margin liquidations, ignoring isolated positive fundamental developments.
Broad equity indices and major tech sectors are experiencing severe intraday selling pressure, fueled by intense anxiety over an AI bubble pop and potential fund margin liquidations. Semiconductor names like MU, NVDA, and SNDK are suffering steep declines despite positive individual earnings or developments. High volatility and negative gamma dynamics appear to be accelerating downside momentum into the market close.
