Some market participants cited concerns about lofty valuations and heavy AI spending by tech companies. Meta shares rallied 8.8% after Bloomberg News reported the company is building a cloud business to sell excess AI computing capacity. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh also said inflation risks had eased recently. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 13 points, or 0.03%, to 52,305. The S&P 500 lost 16 points, or 0.2%, to 7,483, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 173 points, or 0.7%, to 26,040. Warsh said he would stick firmly to the US central bank's 2% inflation target and would "disappoint" anyone expecting loose monetary policy despite U.S. President Donald Trump's call for interest rate cuts.
