Nasdaq Plummets 4% Overnight, $1.3 Trillion Evaporated, U.S. Stocks Suffer Triple Blow

A severe market correction hit US stocks on June 5th, with the Nasdaq plunging 4.18%, erasing $1.3 trillion in chip stock value. The sell-off was triggered by three simultaneous factors. First, Broadcom's earnings report, while showing strong AI chip revenue growth of 143%, provided a Q3 AI revenue forecast that fell short of the most optimistic analyst expectations, casting doubt on the 'infinite AI growth' narrative and sparking a sector-wide rout. Second, a much stronger-than-expected May jobs report (172k vs. 80k expected) significantly increased market bets on a potential Federal Reserve rate hike instead of a cut, putting pressure on high-valuation tech stocks. Third, persistent high oil prices due to the ongoing Iran war and Strait of Hormuz disruption continue to fuel inflation concerns, limiting the Fed's policy options. The combined effect attacked the core market pillars of boundless AI growth and expected monetary easing. While the暴跌 represents a significant valuation repricing, the underlying AI demand remains strong. The market's direction now hinges on the upcoming Fed meeting, further AI company guidance, and developments in the Iran conflict.
