Global stock markets experienced a significant decline on Friday, with indices in Europe and Asia following a downturn in U.S. markets earlier in the week. The selloff, which initially centered on artificial intelligence and technology trades, expanded to impact every major sector, including healthcare. In Asia, Japanese markets fell into bear market territory. The volatility is being linked to concerns over heavy spending on artificial intelligence and the potential market implications following a Democratic sweep of Congress.
