AI Selloff Hits Technology Shares and Billionaires
US technology stocks sold off sharply on November 5, with Nvidia down 9% and AMD down 17%. Jensen Huang’s fortune fell by $15.1 billion as the decline contributed to a $185B reduction in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Reports linked the pressure to doubts over AI infrastructure spending and possible political restrictions on data-center construction.

The selloff reduced the wealth of major technology founders and pressured shares across the AI ecosystem. UBS analysts estimate that approximately 30% of anticipated US data-centre capacity additions in 2028 could face risks from construction pauses, according to material 1.
