  "account": "The Nasdaq experienced a significant decline to near one-month lows on Thursday, October 15, driven by a worsening sell-off in AI-related stocks and concerns that rising interest rates could negatively impact artificial intelligence investments. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both recorded their largest one-day drop since July after consumer inflation data exceeded expectations, indicating a higher likelihood of further interest rate hikes from the U.S. Federal Reserve. This decline negatively affected major tech companies such as semiconductor maker TSMC, which issued a cautious outlook for 2027 due to economic uncertainties. Additionally, AI lab Anthropic's third-quarter revenue surged by 45% compared to the previous quarter, but this positive news did not boost investor confidence. CoreWeave, a heavily indebted data-center operator, saw an 8.5% drop, while cloud computing giant Oracle declined marginally after a 9% fall in the previous session. Other affected companies include Nvidia, Micron Technology, and Advanced Micro Devices, all of which recorded double-digit percentage declines. The broader semiconductor index has lost $2 trillion in value over a 14% slide across seven sessions, marking its longest losing streak since May 2025. Investors are increasingly questioning the extent to which future growth is already priced into stock valuations, the financing of expansion, and the timing of when these investments will generate sufficient returns. This shift in sentiment has pushed investors into government bonds, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield reaching a three-week low of 5.0725%.",
