The article says selling pressure resurfaced by yesterday, suggesting investors should anticipate more turbulent swings in the coming weeks. It links the renewed uncertainty to renewed alarm about how much major technology firms are spending on AI. The piece cites projections that Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta will spend $700 billion on AI-related areas such as semiconductors and memory, and notes SpaceX plans a major AI expenditure program.
