FT screenshots show AI chip optimism and a sharp sell-off in the same day

The post pairs two Financial Times headlines to make a point about how volatile AI and chip markets have become.
One screenshot says CXMT’s blockbuster IPO delivered huge gains for local-government-backed funds in Hefei, with the city’s affiliated shareholders now holding a stake worth roughly RMB 100 billion ($148 billion). Another says the AI stock sell-off is deepening as investors dump chipmakers, with South Korea’s tech-heavy KOSPI leading declines in Asia.
The author’s comment — that markets are “severely bipolar and short termist” — is a concise read on how quickly sentiment can swing between euphoria over AI infrastructure and fear-driven selling.
