Heavy losses in Nvidia (-3%), AMD (-6.3%), and Palantir (-5.5%) dragged markets lower amid mounting fears of overvaluation. The VIX volatility index jumped 11% as new data showed U.S. layoffs surged in October — the largest increase for that month since 2003.
Investors moved toward Treasury bonds, pushing yields lower on expectations that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates.
