GoKawiilNasdaq 100 heads for $1 trillion drop amid AI stock selloff
US tech stocks fell sharply on Friday, with the Nasdaq 100 down 2.6% and on pace for a roughly $1 trillion decline. Amazon shares dropped about two percent despite strong cloud earnings, as investors focused instead on its 2026 capital expenditure plans of $220 billion tied largely to AI. The slide followed Alphabet's historic 12.6% single-day plunge on Thursday, which wiped out over $500 billion in market value.
