Nasdaq Declines Over 1% Amid OpenAI Growth Concerns and Tech Sector Selloff

US stock markets saw mixed movements as the Nasdaq Composite dropped over 1%, underperforming the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average amid concerns about the artificial intelligence sector's growth prospects. Reports indicated that OpenAI missed internal targets for user growth and revenue, raising doubts about its ability to sustain heavy data center investments. This fueled selloffs in AI-related firms like Oracle and CoreWeave. Investors also faced inflation fears due to rising oil prices and awaited major tech earnings reports, adding to market uncertainty.
