But there are some investors who are increasingly questioning whether the enormous sums being committed to AI infrastructure can generate sufficient returns within a reasonable timeframe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, he added that the selling \u201ccould simply reflect a period of portfolio rotation\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome investors may prefer to lock in profits from richly valued semiconductor names and reallocate capital towards sectors offering more attractive valuations and steadier earnings visibility,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The dour mood in Asia followed losses in New York, where sharp falls in Nvidia and Amazon helped drag the Nasdaq down more than one percent.<\/p>\n<p>And Netflix plunged more than nine percent in after-hours trade as it warned of a second quarter of slowing sales growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe AI trade keeps learning the same lesson the hard way: when a stock goes vertical, it does not need bad news to come down. It just needs buyers to stop paying any price,\u201d said SPI Asset Management\u2019s Stephen Innes.<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices jumped one percent as the US and Iran continued to exchange strikes in a flare-up that has seen traffic through the key Strait of Hormuz fall back to a trickle.<\/p>\n<p>The renewed hostilities have fanned fears of a return to war that could send crude prices back higher, putting fresh pressure on inflation and eventually forcing central banks to hike interest rates.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Key figures around 0210 GMT \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Tokyo \u2013 Nikkei 225: DOWN 4.0 percent at 64,171.46\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong \u2013 Hang Seng Index: DOWN 1.0 percent at 24,771.53<\/p>\n<p>Shanghai \u2013 Composite: DOWN 0.8 percent at 3,853.18<\/p>\n<p>West Texas Intermediate: UP 1.0 percent at $79.70 a barrel<\/p>\n<p>Brent North Sea Crude: UP 1.0 percent at $85.06 a barrel<\/p>\n<p>Euro\/dollar: UP at $1.1446 from $1.1436 on Thursday<\/p>\n<p>Pound\/dollar: UP at $1.3477 from $1.3468<\/p>\n<p>Dollar\/yen: UP at 162.44 yen from 162.42 yen<\/p>\n<p>Euro\/pound: UP at 84.93 pence from 84.91 pence<\/p>\n<p>New York \u2013 Dow: DOWN 0.2 percent at 52,552.97 (close)<\/p>\n<p>London \u2013 FTSE 100: UP 0.5 percent at 10,572.24 (close)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
