Hedge funds are offloading US tech stocks at record levels, according to Goldman Sachs. This trend follows a punishing drawdown in July, with crowded AI trades triggering losses as volatility impacts market leaders.
Coverage from Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, and Moomoo emphasizes the decline of the AI capital expenditure narrative. MarketWatch and Investopedia focus on whether this sell-off represents a buying opportunity or a catalyst for the S&P 500 to reach new highs.
Attention is now on whether momentum trading will bottom out, a process the Goldman Sachs trading desk suggests may take several more weeks.
