Artificial intelligence stocks have begun to waver slightly, experiencing a selloff period in the first week of this month. The Nasdaq has fallen approximately 2%, wiping out around $500 billion in market value from top technology companies.
Palantir Technologies dropped nearly 8% despite beating Wall Street estimates and issuing strong guidance, highlighting growing investor concerns about stretched valuations in the AI sector.
Nvidia shares also fell roughly 4%, while the broader selloff extended to Asian markets, which experienced some of their sharpest declines since April.
Wall Street executives, including Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, warned of potential 10-20% drawdowns in equity markets over the coming year.
And Michael Burry, famous for predicting the 2008 housing crisis, recently revealed his $1.1 billion bet against both Nvidia and Palantir, further pushing the narrative that the AI rally may be overextended.
As we near 2026, the sentiment around AI is seemingly starting to shift, with investors beginning to seek evidence of tangible returns on the massive investments flowing into AI, rather than simply betting on future potential.
However, despite the recent turbulence, many are simply characterising this pullback as "healthy" profit-taking rather than a fundamental reassessment of AI's value.
Supreme Court Raises Doubts About Trump’s Tariffs
The US Supreme Court heard arguments overnight on the legality of President Donald Trump's "liberation day" tariffs, with judges from both sides of the political spectrum expressing scepticism about the presidential authority being claimed.
Trump has relied on a 1970s-era emergency law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), to impose sweeping tariffs on goods imported into the US.
At the centre of the case are two core questions: whether the IEEPA authorises these sweeping tariffs, and if so, whether Trump’s implementation is constitutional.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett indicated they may be inclined to strike down or curb the majority of the tariffs, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh questioned why no president before Trump had used this authority.
Prediction markets saw the probability of the court upholding the tariffs drop from 40% to 25% after the hearing.
The US government has collected $151 billion from customs duties in the second half of 2025 alone, a nearly 300% increase over the same period in 2024.
Should the court rule against the tariffs, potential refunds could reach approximately $100 billion.
The court has not indicated a date on which it will issue its final ruling, though the Trump administration has requested an expedited decision.
Shutdown Becomes Longest in US History
The US government shutdown entered its 36th day today, officially becoming the longest in history. It surpasses the previous 35-day record set during Trump's first term from December 2018 to January 2019.
The Senate has failed 14 times to advance spending legislation, falling short of the 60-vote supermajority by five votes in the most recent vote.
So far, approximately 670,000 federal employees have been furloughed, and 730,000 are currently working without pay. Over 1.3 million active-duty military personnel and 750,000 National Guard and reserve personnel are also working unpaid.
SNAP food stamp benefits ran out of funding on November 1 — something 42 million Americans rely on weekly. However, the Trump administration has committed to partial payments to subsidise the benefits, though delivery could take several weeks.
Flight disruptions have affected 3.2 million passengers, with staffing shortages hitting more than half of the nation's 30 major airports. Nearly 80% of New York's air traffic controllers are absent.
From a market perspective, each week of shutdown reduces GDP by approximately 0.1%. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the total cost of the shutdown will be between $7 billion and $14 billion, with the higher figure assuming an eight-week duration.
Consumer spending could drop by $30 billion if the eight-week duration is reached, according to White House economists, with potential GDP impacts of up to 2 percentage points total.

根据最新公布的澳大利亚统计局（ABS）数据，截至2024年1月，消费者价格指数（CPI）在过去 12 个月内上涨了 3.4%。低于市场普遍预期的3.6%。
今年年初，潜在的价格压力继续缓解。澳大利亚统计局周三表示，排除水果、燃料和假日旅行等波动性项目，通胀率从4.2% 降至4.1%。
虽然这些数字略低于市场对通胀率升至3.6%的预期，但市场预期这不太可能改变货币政策的前景。根据ASX30日利率隐含曲线显示，目前利率仍将在未来几个月内维持，而澳大利亚央行 11 月 利率会议之后可能会有较为明确的降息25基点。
房地产市场压力自 2022 年中期以来，新房建设成本（CPI 篮子中最大的项目）的通货紧缩已陷入停滞，年通胀率接近 5%。本次1月份租金上涨0.7%，过去12个月租金上涨7.4%，原因是移民激增带来的强劲需求和供应不足造成出租房产严重短缺。
按照细分项来看，房产板块持续的价格压力抵消了牛肉和海鲜等食品主食价格的直接下跌，使得1 月份总体通胀率稳定在3.4%。尽管澳大利亚央行在抑制通胀方面取得了一些进展，但劳动密集型服务业和房地产市场的价格压力仍然很高。这也是为何降息不会过早到来的市场预期原因。澳股、澳元相关表现CPI数据并未反弹，属于超预期下行，这一消息利空澳元。澳美货币对在消息后6小时下跌近0.5%。
股市方面，CPI消息有利于股市稳定，但是基于降息预期不强烈，澳股截至消息当日收盘表现平平。澳股基本收平，微跌0.03%。
