U.S. equities fell for another session on Thursday as investors took a risk-off stance, leading popular trades in technology and bitcoin to unravel.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed about 592.58 points, or 1.20%, ending at 48,908.72. The S&P 500 lost 1.23%, closing at 6,798.40 and landing in negative territory for the year. The Nasdaq Composite declined 1.59% and settled at 22,540.59. The 30-stock Dow was down nearly 700 points, or about 1.4%, at session lows, while the broad market S&P 500 and Nasdaq dropped 1.5% and 1.9%, respectively. 

Amazon dropped 9% after hours on results.

Alphabet was the latest of the “Magnificent Seven” companies to report earnings results. The company projected a sharp increase in artificial intelligence spending that spooked some investors, calling for 2026 capital expenditures of up to $185 billion. Shares lost 0.5%. However, shares of Broadcom climbed almost 1% following news of Alphabet’s spending plans, offering some hope for the artificial intelligence trade as the market deciphers its winners and losers.

SPI down 98 – Commodities fall – Bitcoin dumped.
