Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

The Nasdaq-100 fell 6.36% on Thursday, marking the index's worst single session since the Covid-19 pandemic and erasing $2.3 trillion in market capitalization. The selloff hit U.S. tech giants amid growing fears of a slowdown in artificial intelligence investment, compounded by regulatory risks and doubts over the sector's profitability. The scale of the drop underscores how sensitive markets have become to any sign that AI spending may be cooling. Investors will be watching upcoming earnings and capital expenditure guidance from major tech firms for confirmation of whether AI budgets are holding up.
