Summary

Wall Street indices plunged after the US midterms as investor thinking about the rollout of AI infrastructure turned on its head, shifting the mood from euphoria to fear. ABC asks whether the sell-off is a flash in the pan or the start of a broader bear market, but the material available does not answer that question. Bloomberg reports that for months investors have worried about a long list of risks to artificial intelligence spending, and that the midterms have exposed that risk. This account is based only on the headlines and summaries of these two reports.
