Asian Stocks Mixed on AI Concerns as Oil Prices Slip Following Recent Surge
Yahoo Finance ·
Asian equities finished the week mixed on Friday as fresh doubts surrounding the artificial intelligence investment boom pressured technology shares, while a decline in crude prices offered some relief. Sentiment took a hit after a Financial Times report revealed that ChatGPT creator OpenAI projected its annualized revenue for this year at $50 billion, falling short of the previously stated $70 billion target. This revelation triggered heavy selling on Wall Street, where the Nasdaq dropped over one percent and Nvidia tumbled 2.94 percent. In Tokyo, tech heavyweight SoftBank retreated more than four percent, and major Chinese indices also slid, though several regional markets managed gains. Meanwhile, oil benchmarks pulled back around 0.94 percent after US President Donald Trump dismissed the likelihood of a pre-election military strike on Iran. Additionally, remarks from Federal Reserve officials reinforced expectations of further monetary tightening ahead, even as an October rate increase remains unlikely.

하락 영향

DYAX 전담 분석
OpenAI's downward revision of its revenue forecast (reduced from $70B to $50B) triggered caution regarding excessive valuations in the AI industry, prompting a correction across tech stocks overall. In particular, major tech stocks such as Nvidia and Microsoft declined, leading to a reassessment of the justification for capital expenditures (Capex) in the market.
Whether AI-related stocks will undergo further corrections in the future depends on whether actual profitability is proven through the earnings season, and the crude oil market is expected to find stability as geopolitical risks in the Middle East ease. Investors should closely monitor big tech earnings announcements and remarks regarding the Federal Reserve's rate hike path as key indicators.
