Global stock markets suffered sharp losses on November 6, 2026, as concerns over a potential slowdown in artificial intelligence investment triggered a widespread sell-off. The Nasdaq plunged 5.5% on Thursday, while Japan’s Nikkei dropped 6% and South Korea’s Kospi fell more than 8%. European markets also declined, with Britain's FTSE 100 falling 1.9%. Investors fear Democratic election victories could bring stricter regulations and restrictions on AI data-centre expansion. Concerns over massive technology investments and uncertain returns further weakened confidence. However, analysts believe AI demand remains strong despite growing market volatility. (PC: EPA)
