US-Börsen: „Absolut brutale Woche“ für Tech-Investoren – Nasdaq rutscht ab, Intel verliert rund 29 Prozent

A brutal week hit US stock markets, particularly tech investors, as Nasdaq plummeted and Intel lost nearly 29 percent, according to wire material. The major US indices closed the week significantly lower. The tech-heavy Nasdaq marked its worst October in over a year, declining 2.9 percent to 25,437 points. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 1.1 percent to 51,770 points, while the S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent to 7,580 points.

The technology exchange experienced the most severe drop, with the Nasdaq 100 losing 3.5 percent to 28,385 points. The wave of selling before the weekend hit American technology stocks hard, especially those benefiting from the AI boom, including chipmakers, network equipment providers, and other companies. Intel's stock plummeted 30 percent, closing 28.6 percent lower than its opening price.

The company's guidance for the next quarter missed market expectations dramatically. Intel's poor earnings forecast for the next quarter and the high prices for memory chips affected PC sales, a key business segment. The semiconductor manufacturer, listed since 1971, had its worst trading day ever, suffering under the government's 10 percent stake.
