Global stocks slide as US semiconductor index drops more than 6% and June payrolls rise 57,000
Global equities sold off as semiconductor shares led declines after Meta's plan to sell AI computing power raised fears of AI overcapacity and stretched capex cycles, pushing the U.S. semiconductor index down over 6%. Concurrently, sharply weaker U.S. payrolls and downward revisions signaled labor-market cooling, reinforcing Fed rate-cut expectations and pressuring the dollar (DXY -0.52%). Oil was steady; Europe outperformed on easier-rate expectations.
