US stock indices are moving higher today, with the Dow Jones Industrials recovering from a 4-week low. The broader market is mostly higher today, recovering some of Thursday’s rout as dip buying in chipmakers and AI-infrastructure stocks lifts the broader market. Stocks plummeted on Thursday amid speculation that the Democratic sweep of Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections will usher in a new era of regulation for the artificial-intelligence industry. The rotation out of chipmakers reflects a growing view that public opposition to data centers could crimp the growth of chipmakers and data-center suppliers. The weakness in software stocks today is limiting the upside in the overall market.
