US-Börsen: Anleger greifen nach Ausverkauf bei Tech zu – US-Börsen im Plus

The mood among US investors is divided, with concerns stemming from the results of the US Midterms and their potential impact on future government policies regarding technology. However, the strong decline in the Nasdaq index has provided an opportunity for investor-friendly buying or selling of stocks. This argument seems to have convinced investors on Friday.

After yesterday's selling, the Nasdaq index for technology stocks has climbed back up, ending the day with a 1.2 percent increase to 24,602 points. Similarly, the Nasdaq 100, which tracks the 100 largest non-financial companies by market capitalization, also gained 1.6 percent to 27,055 points. The broader S&P 500 index shows a slight gain, ending at 7,380 points. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, composed of blue-chip stocks, fell by 0.9 percent to 51,043 points.

On Thursday, the US indices experienced a significant drop, starting from the Nasdaq, which had plummeted by over six percent. This was the index's steepest decline since April 2025. The US Midterms held on Wednesday saw the Democrats regain a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. They used this victory to campaign against Artificial Intelligence (AI), questioning the massive expansion of data centers in the United States.

Public skepticism about the wisdom of massive investments in AI has recently increased across the US, with protests taking place in many places. At the same time, investors continue to worry about whether the substantial AI investments will pay off. Even strong quarterly earnings from companies sometimes fail to convince investors, as high AI investments remain a concern.
