Nasdaq Plummets Amid Chip Maker Sell-Off

Stocks fell sharply on Friday and closed the week with losses amid another round of selling of chip makers along with geopolitical tensions. The Nasdaq was the laggard as semiconductor manufacturers plunged on concerns that hyperscalers will invest less in AI infrastructure and worries about improving Chinese AI models. Meanwhile, pro-inflationary risks gathered momentum as the war in the Middle East continues and fuel costs pick back up. Adding another potential headwind, President Trump claimed in an address last night that China interfered in the 2020 presidential elections, risking the economic truce that has been holding since last year's tariff exchanges.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.
