Story summary

The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged by approximately 1,200 points, erasing most of the gains seen on Wednesday after election results were announced. Stocks related to artificial intelligence (AI) and tech companies like Nvidia and Intel saw substantial drops; Intel's shares fell over 18%, while Nvidia's dropped more than 10%. The Nasdaq Composite index slumped by up to 5% in its worst day since April 2025, amid growing concerns about tougher AI regulation under Democratic leadership.
