<p>Investors rushed to dump tech and AI-linked stocks on Wednesday, fueling a broad sector selloff reminiscent of the red days in October and November, when traders fretted over the risk of an AI bubble.</p>



<p>By midday trading in New York, the Nasdaq 100 slid 1.3%, while the<strong> iShares Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NYSE:SOXX) sank nearly 3%, marking its fourth consecutive session of losses.</p>



<p>Chipmakers have now fallen 9% over the past four days, the sector's worst stretch since the tariff-driven selloff in April.</p>



<p><strong>Nvidia Corp.</strong> (NASDAQ:NVDA) dropped more than 4%, posting its steepest decline in two months and sinking to its lowest level since mid-September.</p>



<p><strong>GE Vernova Inc</strong>. (NASDAQ:GEV) and <strong>Constellation Energy Inc. </strong>(NYSE:CEG) bore the brunt of Wednesday's selloff, both sliding over 7%, respectively, as investors continued to unwind exposure to power and AI-adjacent names.</p>



<p>Shares of <strong>CoreWeave Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:CRWV) fell for a sixth straight session, tumbling more than 6% to their lowest level since mid-May. Investors have grown increasingly concerned that companies with overloaded order backlogs could struggle to meet demand amid capacity constraints.</p>



<p><strong>Oracle Corp.</strong> (NYSE:ORCL) slid 5%, extending its drawdown from October's all-time highs to nearly 50%.</p>



<p><strong>Alphabet Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:GOOGL), the top-performing stock among the Magnificent Seven this year, also came under pressure, dropping more than 2.3% and heading for a fifth consecutive session of losses.</p>



<p>Away from equities, silver's relentless rally powered ahead, with the metal surging more than 4% to $66.50 an ounce, lifting its year-to-date gain to an eye-popping 130%. Gold rose 0.7% to $4,330, inching closer to a retest of its October record high near $4,350.</p>



<p>Oil prices attempted a rebound, climbing 1% to $56, after hitting their lowest levels in nearly five years on Tuesday.</p>



<p>Risk appetite also remained fragile in crypto markets, with <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: BTC) down 1.2%.</p>
