Summary · why it matters

US stocks finished sharply lower on Friday, with the S&P 500 falling 1.01% to a one-week low, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 0.77% to a two-and-a-half-week low, and the Nasdaq 100 sliding 1.49% to a five-week low. A global selloff in chipmakers intensified after Chinese AI startup Moonshot launched its Kimi K3 model, which it claims rivals top offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic, fueling concerns that massive AI infrastructure spending has pushed valuations too far. The rout began in Asia, where China’s Shanghai Composite sank 3% and Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average tumbled 4%. Losses in the Magnificent Seven technology stocks also weighed on the market, with Meta Platforms, Alphabet, Nvidia, and Tesla all down more than 2%, while Microsoft and Amazon fell over 1%. On the positive side, the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index rose to a five-month high of 54.4, and energy stocks rallied as WTI crude surged more than 4% to a five-week high amid escalating US-Iran military strikes. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack added to the negative tone by saying persistently high inflation remains her bigger concern. Corporate insiders sold $77.6 billion of stock in the first half of the year, the second-highest amount in over two decades, according to EPFR Global Market Intelligence.
