US Stock: S&P, Nasdaq end lower on semiconductor selloff as AI spending concerns mount

Indian markets mirrored global trends as major indices, including the Nasdaq and S&P 500, closed at over a week's low on Tuesday. Semiconductor stocks experienced significant declines, fueled by investor concerns over debt-fueled AI spending and anticipation of a more hawkish stance from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Traders are now pricing in a higher likelihood of a second interest rate hike by December.
