Read the full assessment

A Democratic sweep in the US midterm elections has triggered a significant global selloff in AI-related tech stocks, with some equities dropping up to 50% from peaks. This market correction is driven by investor fears of increased AI regulation and potential moratoriums on datacenter construction, particularly in the US. The exact scope and legislative path of these regulatory changes remain uncertain.
