U.S. equities closed lower on Monday, with the Dow and Nasdaq falling as calls to slow AI development triggered a sell-off in semiconductor stocks. While the market pared some intraday losses, the indices snapped recent winning streaks as rising oil prices and higher interest rates added to the pressure on AI-related valuations.

  • GN stocks/chips reports the Dow closed down 152 points at 52,421.20, snapping a two-day winning streak, while the Nasdaq shed 146 points to finish at 26,186.41. The report notes that indices pared some of their earlier morning losses, with the Nasdaq having dropped as much as 315 points before the close.
