Nasdaq falls 4.5% in a week as AI financing concerns mount; Meta, Tesla earnings ahead
AI take
The divergence between a falling Nasdaq and a rising Dow points to a rotation away from tech rather than a broad risk-off move, with small caps caught in the crossfire. The hotter CPI print complicates the picture, since it pressures the same rate-sensitive growth names already unsettled by AI financing concerns. The near-term read hinges on whether Meta and Tesla earnings validate or calm those financing worries, and whether the tech-to-value split persists beyond this reporting window.
