Nasdaq and S&P 500 Decline on OpenAI Growth Concerns Ahead of Tech Earnings

U.S. stock markets saw declines in the Nasdaq and S&P 500 on Tuesday amid renewed concerns about the sustainability of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Reports indicated that OpenAI missed internal targets for user growth and revenue, raising questions about its ability to support extensive data center spending. This fueled selloffs in AI-linked tech stocks such as Oracle, CoreWeave, Nvidia, and AMD ahead of major tech earnings reports from companies including Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Apple. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose slightly, and investors also monitored rising oil prices and Federal Reserve policies.
