On June 23, Invesco QQQ Trust (Nasdaq 100 ETF) declined 3.19% in regular trading, trading at $716.23/share, with turnover of $3.631 billion. The sharp decline came amid a broad global sell-off driven by renewed fears over an AI investment bubble.
Market-wide panic selling swept across global equities as investors reassessed the sustainability of massive AI infrastructure spending. Nasdaq 100 futures had already dropped over 2.5% during the Asian session, with semiconductor and optical communication stocks leading losses. In Asia, SK Hynix plunged over 12% and Korea's KOSPI index crashed nearly 10%, while Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 3.55%. Analysts noted that heavily leveraged positions in crowded AI trades amplified the downturn, as speculative capital rotated out of AI infrastructure names. UBS Global warned that if companies continue funding AI investments through debt without generating sufficient returns, markets may begin questioning corporate debt structures and profit sustainability. Morgan Stanley also flagged risks of a broader market correction, cautioning that the Fed may not intervene to stabilize equities.
The Trust tracks the NASDAQ-100 Index, comprising the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange, with periodic rebalancing to reflect changes in index composition and weightings.
