US-Börsen: „KI-Blutbad“ an Börse – S&P 500 bricht um vier Prozent ein

A recent report from Barron's, a prominent US financial magazine, describes the recent stock market turmoil as a "KAI-bloodbath," while alternatives like Kobeissi Letter decried it as "absolute madness." Just two days after the midterm elections, US stock markets experienced significant losses across all major indexes. The Nasdaq technology index plummeted over five percent below its all-time high, with losses exceeding ten percent.

Other major indices, such as the Dow Jones and S&P 500, also saw sharp declines, with the Dow Jones falling 3.2 percent and the S&P 500 dropping four percent. This represents the largest single-day losses since President Donald Trump's implementation of global US tariffs in April 2025. The VIX volatility index, often referred to as the "market fear gauge," surged over 60 percent.

The surprising Democratic performance in the US congressional elections has sparked concerns that the party may significantly curtail infrastructure development for Artificial Intelligence (AI), a key campaign issue and a reason behind the market downturns. However, this is not the sole factor contributing to the stock market's decline.
