QQQM is trading at $293.84 (-1.69%) as concerns over returns from heavy AI investment weigh on technology shares.

  • Alphabet’s disappointing results and negative free cash flow revived concerns about AI investment returns; Microsoft’s strong Azure results offered a counterpoint.
  • Weakness in semiconductor and software shares added pressure as investors weighed September PCE inflation and GDP data after the Fed held rates steady.
  • The Nasdaq’s decline indicated tech-led weakness, not an isolated QQQM move.
