US stocks drop on higher-than-expected inflation, hitting AI firms and Bitcoin miners hard

US stock markets fell sharply after September inflation data showed a 3.7% annual increase, exceeding expectations and the Federal Reserve's 2% target. This raised concerns about further interest rate hikes, leading to significant losses in AI-focused companies and Bitcoin mining firms expanding into AI and high-performance computing. These companies face higher borrowing costs amid investor caution on inflation and AI investment returns. The selloff highlights market sensitivity to inflation data and its impact on tech and crypto-related sectors.
