Tech Stocks Plunge, Safe-Haven U.S. Treasury Trades Return? 10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield Drops to Three-Week Low
If AI capital expenditure slows down, a sudden halt in computing power construction will severely impact the supply chain while lowering market expectations for demand in electricity, commodities, and high-end hardware. This not only leads to a correction of overvalued assets, but also undermines growth expectations and inflation premiums, ultimately benefiting bonds. This logic is highly similar to the macroeconomic landscape during the bursting of the internet bubble in 2000, when the Nasdaq collapsed and the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds dropped from a high of 6.5% to the 4% range.

Hit hard by rising US inflation and concerns over AI profitability, Korean stocks plummeted 7.57% in a single day on October 15, with two major indices triggering circuit breakers for the first time in two and a half months. Foreign investors have cumulatively sold over 16 trillion won ($12 billion) in eight days. Technical indicators are flashing warnings: the KOSPI has fallen more than 8% below its 200-day moving average, and if it cannot recover within two weeks, the probability of a prolonged bear market is as high as 43%; a "death cross" is expected to form after 16 trading days. The Q3 earnings season will serve as the final validation point.
