Volatility lashed Wall Street, pushing high-valuation technology shares and crypto lower while bonds pared losses after a senior Federal Reserve official signaled room for rate cuts.
A tech rout hit stocks amid growing skepticism about the artificial-intelligence trade. Nvidia Corp. sank 3.8%. Losses accelerated as the S&P 500 breached a key technical level, with the index down 1.2%. The Nasdaq 100 slid 1.9%. In late hours, Micron Technology Inc. gave an upbeat forecast.
Even the slightest hint of trouble around data centers is enough to spook investors banking on the AI boom. The latest hiccup revolved around Oracle Corp.’s financing for a data center in Michigan. While it’s largely moving along, Blue Owl Capital, a longtime partner in its AI infrastructure build-out, is not contributing equity. The shares sank.
For years, investing in big techs has been a no brainer, given their stalwart balance sheets. Now, there’s concern over whether the sector — which has soared during the bull market — can keep justifying its lofty valuations and ambitious AI spending.

Today's show features:
Matthew Luzzetti, Chief US Economist for Deutsche Bank, on the labor market, inflation and the economic outlook
Alli McCartney, Managing Director of Wealth Management with Alignment Partners at UBS, on key market indicators as the new year approaches
Mike Bellin, US IPO Leader at PwC, on the IPO market outlook for 2026 and Bloomberg News Equities Reporter Natalia Kniazhevich on Medline’s first day of trading
Katie Hubbard, President of US Capital Markets at Walton Global on earnings from Lennar and the US real estate landscape

Bitcoin is headed for the fourth annual decline in its history, and the first one that didn’t coincide with a major scandal or industry meltdown. While the latest decline is a much milder correction than in the previous three down years, it’s happened against a vastly different backdrop. Since the last major crypto crash in 2022, institutional adoption has widened, regulation has matured, and the industry has found its arguably most important champion in US President Donald Trump.

Fred Thiel, the CEO of MARA, which is the second largest publicly held bitcoin miner, explains why the remains committed to the world's leading cryptocurrency, and why he sees a market recovery on the horizon. Fred speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners is exiting from the takeover battle for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.
The private equity firm this month emerged as a participant in Paramount Skydance Corp.’s hostile bid for Warner Bros., which valued the media and entertainment company at $108.4 billion including debt. Paramount is seeking to scupper Netflix Inc.’s agreed $82.7 billion deal for Warner Bros.
Affinity was helping to finance Paramount’s move. It now believes the dynamics ​of an investment have changed since it became involved in the process in October, a representative for the firm said.
Warner Bros. is planning to reject Paramount’s offer due to concerns about financing and other terms, people familiar with the matter said Tuesday. Affinity’s investment in the bid is about $200 million in equity, Bloomberg News has reported.
