Major U.S. equity indexes finished a volatile week mixed, as large-cap tech stocks suffered their worst week since November while small-cap and value stocks added to their YTD gains. Worries about the disruptive potential of AI, as well as concerns regarding a surge in capex, weighed on many of the high-growth stocks that have outperformed in recent years. In contrast, some cyclical and value-oriented segments outperformed as investors seemed to rotate into the areas that have lagged firms with more AI exposure. Corporate earnings and geopolitical tensions also appeared to contribute to the week’s volatility. The Nasdaq performed worst, shedding 1.84%, while the S&P 500 finished little changed. On the other hand, the Russell 2000 and the Dow Jones posted solid gains (and hit $50k for the 1st time).
