Goldman Sachs reports hedge funds sell AI stocks at rapid pace
Summary
Hedge funds rapidly sold off AI stocks in just five sessions, marking the second fastest pace of selling in a year, as reported by Goldman's Vincent Lin in a recent analysis. This dramatic shift comes after nearly two years of investment in AI-related stocks, coinciding with a significant market decline following the release of the latest Consumer Price Index data. The sell-off reflects broader market volatility, with major indices experiencing their first notable declines in several months.
