CAC 40 Falls 1% as Global Tech Rout Deepens on AI Growth Fears

The Paris CAC 40 dropped 1.06% on Friday, following a sharp selloff in global tech stocks triggered by concerns that a Democratic victory in U.S. elections could slow AI growth. The Nasdaq plunged 5.52% on Thursday, its worst day since April 2025, and the S&P 500 fell 4.36%. The decline reflects investor anxiety over potential regulatory headwinds for AI, though the exact policy impact remains uncertain.
