USD is trading at $88.18 (-3.12%) as semiconductor and AI-linked shares lead a technology selloff amid doubts about AI infrastructure returns.

  • The selloff follows a sharp drop in chip stocks across Asia.
  • Elevated financing costs and stretched valuations add to investor concerns.
  • Competition from Chinese memory-chip makers is adding pressure, while weaker Nasdaq futures point to continued tech-sector weakness before the U.S. open.
