The brief
Hedge funds are selling US tech stocks at record levels, according to Goldman Sachs. This movement follows a punishing drawdown in July and is linked to crowded AI trades that have triggered losses as market volatility increases.
Coverage from Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance emphasizes the scale of the sell-off and the impact of volatility on market leaders. Moomoo reports that the AI capex narrative is faltering, while MarketWatch and Investopedia examine whether this trend could eventually lead to new highs for the S&P 500.
Observers are monitoring whether momentum trading will bottom out, a process the Goldman Sachs trading desk suggests may take several more weeks.
