Bitcoin Stays Weak Amid Tech Selloff

Dow Jones19:34

1133 GMT - Bitcoin slips back below $60,000 as U.S. stock futures fall driven by losses in tech stocks. Apple's decision to raise prices of its major products due to rising memory and storage chip costs has sparked fears about the sustainability of the AI boom, XM analyst Raffi Boyadjian says in a note. It raises concerns that other companies will also hike prices as massive investments in AI lead to an unprecedented demand for memory and storage chips, he says. Consumer demand for tech and AI products could eventually cool, "bringing into question whether all the spending on AI infrastructure will pay off." Bitcoin trades flat at $59,360, having reached a 21-month low of $58,075 Thursday, LSEG data show. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
