According to the Wise Finance APP, semiconductor stocks collectively fell. As of the time of publication, SOLOMON SYSTECH (02878) fell by 4.35% to HKD 0.33; HUA HONG SEMI (01347) fell by 2.51% to HKD 16.32; SHANGHAI FUDAN (01385) fell by 1.48% to HKD 10.64; and SMIC (00981) fell by 2.32% to HKD 16.
On the news front, in the United States, the August ISM Manufacturing Index was only 47.2%, which was 0.4 percentage points higher than July but still below the market's expectation of 47.9%. This index is an important indicator of whether the manufacturing sector is expanding or contracting, with a value below 50% indicating a contraction. This data has intensified fears in the market that the U.S. economy may be heading towards a recession, leading to significant stock market volatility.
As a result, the three major U.S. stock indexes recorded their worst day since the global stock market sell-off on August 5th. The sell-off in tech stocks was particularly severe, with chipmaker NVIDIA losing over 9% in regular trading, becoming the focus of the market. NVIDIA's stock price fell by nearly 10% in regular U.S. trading, causing a market capitalization loss of $279 billion. If we include the post-market drop of up to 2%, its market value has evaporated by approximately $300 billion. NVIDIA's stock price plummeted again, reigniting investors' strong concerns that the AI frenzy has become irrational, as well as widespread worries about the diminishing acceptance of the &#34;AI grand narrative logic&#34; among investors
