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

Zwei Tage nach der US-Wahl bricht die Wall Street ein. Die Sorge vor einer schärferen KI-Regulierung löst einen Ausverkauf aus. Doch ein anderer Faktor verstärkt den Kursrutsch.

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

A recent "AI bloodbath" has shaken US stock markets, with the S&P 500 falling by 4%. This sharp decline occurred just two days after midterm elections, which saw the Democrats unexpectedly perform well. Investors are concerned that the Democratic party may curb the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure, as infrastructure expansion was a key election promise.

The Nasdaq, a leading technology exchange, experienced a more than 5% drop, exceeding ten percent below its all-time high. The Dow Jones, which had risen 1500 points the previous day, also saw all its gains erased and closed 3.2% lower. The S&P 500 suffered its steepest single-day decline since April 2025, when Donald Trump announced US tariffs worldwide. The US Volatility Index (VIX), known as the "market's fear gauge," surged by over 60%.
