Here is what the page “AI Stock Selloff Drags Global Markets Lower as Oil Spikes on Iran War Fears” contains. A sharp selloff in artificial intelligence stocks pulled global markets lower on Thursday, with the S&P 500 falling 1.2%—its worst day since July—and the Nasdaq composite tumbling 2.6%.

Despite the tech weakness, the broader US market showed resilience: the majority of stocks actually rose, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a gain of 11 points, or less than 0.1%.
