The decline of optimistic expectations regarding the profitability of large-scale artificial intelligence projects has led to a cascading drop in Asian stock markets and Wall Street. The simultaneous occurrence of this technological disappointment with contractionary signals from monetary policymakers has resulted in a heavy outflow of liquidity from high-risk assets, plunging Asian stock exchanges into deep red territory. The significant drop in indices was triggered after weak financial reports were released after hours by tech giants such as Amazon and Intel, alongside a decline in Alphabet's stock, raising alarms about the imbalance between astronomical data center costs and sustainable cash profits.
