The warning arrived alongside commentary from a financial expert on WMUR, who linked broader market weakness to personal finance concerns. Together the pieces set the stage for a sharp correction in technology‑focused indices.
Yahoo Finance later reported that the Nasdaq fell 5%, attributing part of the decline to a data‑center crash that threatens infrastructure‑dependent AI firms. CNBC quoted Jim Cramer, who said the AI sell‑off is ongoing but cautioned it does not mirror the dot‑com bubble, contrasting with Morgan Stanley’s more alarmist tone.
Current reporting shows the index under pressure and investors monitoring data‑center exposure for further moves.
