Tracking Market Trends

TradingKey - On the eve of the U.S. CPI data release, AI panic escalated. Amid deep-seated concerns that artificial intelligence will disrupt business models across many industries, U.S. stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies all tumbled as capital flowed into U.S. Treasuries.

The S&P 500 fell 1.57%, the Dow Jones dropped 1.34%, and the Nasdaq plummeted by more than 2%.

On the market front, Cisco (CSCO) plunged 12% following weak guidance. Apple (AAPL) slumped 5%, leading the decline among tech giants. In ETFs, software stock ETFs extended their decline, falling 2.7%.

U.S. Treasuries strengthened, with 30-year and 10-year yields both sliding more than 7 basis points.

The U.S. Dollar Index traded sideways. The Japanese yen marked its fourth consecutive day of gains. Bitcoin fell 3%, breaking below $66,000.

The sharp sell-off in U.S. equities appeared to trigger algorithmic selling in metals. Gold (XAUUSD) fell over 3%, breaking below $5,000, Silver (XAGUSD) plunged 11%. COMEX copper fell 3.6%. Crude oil dropped 3%.
