AI slump pressures markets, oil spikes

The ongoing sell-off in AI stocks accelerated with China unveiling its Moonshot model which is challenging American models and rattling American investors. Negative sentiment sent the Nasdaq down 1.4% on Friday and nearly 3% lower for the week. Meanwhile, the S&P sank 1.01% for the day and fell 1.55% over the week, and the Dow shed 0.77% on Friday and lost nearly 1% for the week. The TSX fared relatively better, down 0.22% for the session and was modestly negative for the week.

Key names in New York: Nvidia -2.21%, Intel -2%, Intuitive Surgical -14.15% and the SMH semis ETF -2.18%. Netflix tumbled 7.26% after beating profits, but disappointing in outlook.
