US markets decline as AI debt and chip sector sell-off weigh on Wall Street

Wall Street artificial intelligence semiconductor industry CoreWeave Nasdaq Composite

US stock markets experienced a significant downturn on Friday, October 16, 2026, driven by a broad sell-off in the technology sector. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.15%, marking its worst weekly performance since June, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.09%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average showed more resilience, closing down 0.34%.

Investor anxiety is centered on the sustainability of artificial intelligence investments. Concerns have mounted regarding the high levels of debt being used by companies to finance AI infrastructure. CoreWeave, a cloud computing provider, became a focal point of this tension; its shares fell approximately 12% during the week, and its total debt has risen to over $51 billion.

The semiconductor industry faced intense pressure, marking an eight-day losing streak—the longest since 2008. Major chipmakers including Micron Technology, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel, and Broadcom all saw significant declines. This sector-wide weakness was further exacerbated by fears of increased competition from Chinese memory manufacturers.

In other market news, energy stocks provided a buffer for the Dow Jones, with Exxon and Chevron posting gains. Meanwhile, oil prices rose due to geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, with Brent crude reaching approximately $110 per barrel. In the bond market, the 10-year Treasury yield remained relatively steady at 5.09%.
