Tech markets soften as investors reassess lofty AI valuations amid data delays
Global technology stocks faced renewed pressure after concerns surfaced around elevated valuations in AI-linked companies, compounded by delays in US government economic data releases following administrative disruptions. Investors trimmed exposure to speculative AI names, prompting declines across growth-oriented indices. Analysts noted that while long-term adoption trends remain strong, near-term sentiment has turned cautious as traders seek clarity on macro indicators, enterprise tech spending and regulatory oversight. 
Portfolio managers highlighted a shift toward quality-focused allocations within AI, favouring established cloud and semiconductor firms over early-stage bets.
