  1. Stock Losses Deepen on AI Trade, Treasuries Rally

    Global stocks extended losses as AI jitters intensified, driving investors toward safe-haven assets. MSCI's Asia Pacific Index fell 1.7%, heading for its weakest close since August. South Korea's Kospi plunged 6.5-7.6% as tech stocks declined, with SK Hynix and Samsung falling around 8-9%. Treasuries rallied across the curve, with the US 10-year yield declining 4-11 bps to 5.08-5.26%.

    Why it matters

    The AI trade has been a significant driver of market sentiment, with investors rotating out of tech stocks amid concerns over Chinese competition and slowing growth. The selloff has been led by chip stocks, with a semiconductor ETF falling 2.2% in US premarket trading. The market is now focused on inflation and the outlook for interest rates, with Thursday's producer price data providing another indication of underlying price pressures.
