Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Key AI suppliers and hyperscalers led losses amid debt and regulatory fears; crowded trades unwound, raising near-term risk for the S&P 500. Similar episodes in 2021–2022 showed sharp intraday swings; the current move could spill into broader tech exposure if policy signals remain unclear.
