More: background
A selloff occurs when investors rapidly sell shares, driving prices down. In recent weeks, shares of AI‑focused companies have been volatile, and earnings reports that miss expectations can amplify fears that the sector’s rapid rise may be over‑extended.
How this works: stories from different newsrooms are grouped by topic, then AI writes the explainer using only those reports. It may miss context the reports don't include.
