- Drops for AI stocks drag Wall Street lower after whipping around world
AI stocks fell again on Thursday, with the S&P 500 down 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite down 0.9%, after a global sell-off that hit South Korea's Kospi (down 7.6%) and Japan's Nikkei 225 (down 4.9%). Investors are worried that AI companies, which borrowed heavily for data centers and chips, may struggle with debt as bond yields worldwide reached multi-year highs. CoreWeave fell 7.8% a day after dropping 15.5%, and it said it faces $4.41 billion in principal payments in the second half of this year and $6.18 billion in 2027, against more than $5.5 billion in cash as of June 30.

- More drops for AI stocks drag Wall Street lower after whipping around the world

Nvidia fell 1.9% even as TSMC reported a profit above expectations, while Marsh & McLennan jumped 6.4% on a stronger-than-expected quarter.

- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes.
