Tech stock rout, driven by US AI fears, continues in Asian trading

Asian markets are experiencing a downturn in tech stocks, following a similar trend in the United States. This rout is largely attributed to concerns surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its future regulation. Publishers note that fears over the expansion of US data centers are a significant factor, with some sources specifically mentioning potential pushback from Democrats in the US against such projects.

The broader global market is reportedly being roiled by these developments. One publisher highlights that the AI trade is already on shaky footing due to growing doubts about its profitability. Another report specifically mentions a plunge in shares for SpaceX, linking it to the wider fall in tech and AI stocks, and noting that the market is reacting to possible tougher scrutiny of data center construction and the AI industry in the aftermath of the US mid-term elections.
