Nasdaq 100's Worst Day Since Trump Tariff Shock, Crypto Carnage Worsens: This Week On Wall Street

Wall Street experienced significant volatility this week as the AI-driven rally faltered. Broadcom's unchanged full-year AI semiconductor guidance despite beating expectations triggered a 12.6% stock collapse and dragged the entire semiconductor sector down over 10%. Hot May jobs data (172,000 payrolls vs 85,000 consensus) combined with 3.8% inflation sparked rate-hike fears, pushing markets to price in a potential Fed rate increase by year-end. Bitcoin plunged 17% to below $60,000, its worst week since November 2022, while MicroStrategy dropped 25% as CEO Michael Saylor sold Bitcoin for the first time since December 2022. Ford fell 15% following a major recall of 420,000 SUVs.
