On November 5th local time, many AI industry chain stocks in the US stock market tumbled. AI chip manufacturer NVIDIA ( NVDA.O ) fell by 9.26%. Including the decline from the previous trading day, NVIDIA lost 12.14% in two days, with its market value dropping by $604.6 billion (approximately 4 trillion yuan).

The latest quarterly financial report data and positive performance expectations of another AI chip stock AMD ( AMD.O ) did not provide sustained support for the stock price. Even though the company projected revenue growth of over 80% for next year on November 3, its stock price still tumbled by 17.26% on November 5, with a one-day market value loss of $138.3 billion. Tesla ( TSLA.O ), which is leading the chip manufacturing project TeraFab , saw its stock price fall by 10.77%.

In addition, on November 5th, AI Broadcom ( AVGO.O ) and Marvell ( MRVL.O ) fell by 10.43% and 16.43% respectively; memory chip manufacturers Micron Technology ( MU.O ) and SanDisk ( SNDK.O ) fell by 17.46% and 22.26% respectively; AI cloud computing company CoreWeave ( CRWV.O ) fell by 9.83%, and Oracle ( ORCL.N ) fell by 6.93%.

Behind the collective slump, the progress of the U.S. mid-term elections has amplified market concerns regarding a slowdown in the construction of AI data centers and stricter regulation of AI.

After multiple AI security incidents were successively reported at AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic in the United States, in September of this year, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders Bernie Sanders announced that he would push for legislation known as the "Ban on Artificial Superintelligence Act." According to the draft, the act requires a suspension of all research and development processes for super AI, and individuals who violate it could face up to 20 years in prison. Subsequently, Asimine Ansari Yassamin Ansari from the Democratic Party proposed a House version of the related bill. After the Democrats secured a victory in the mid-term elections in the United States, Asimine Ansari posted on social media calling for a suspension of artificial intelligence development to be the top priority for the Democratic majority on their first day in office.

Data center construction projects in Texas, USA, may be among the first to be affected. Gina Inohosa ( Gina Hinojosa ), a Democrat who won the Texas governor election, is seen as a supporter of suspending data center construction and has expressed her desire to immediately implement a suspension order for data centers in the state. Her victory has further amplified concerns in the capital market regarding the progress of data center construction.

If the United States delays the construction of data centers, it will inevitably affect the revenue of AI infrastructure providers. In addition, Tesla, which is building a chip manufacturing project TeraFab in Texas, USA, as well as another company SpaceX under Musk that is constructing data centers in Texas and other places, have come under renewed scrutiny from the capital market. The combined market value of SpaceX and Tesla fell by over $330 billion on November 5th.

On November 2, Goldman Sachs significantly raised its forecast for global data center capacity in a research report, estimating that by 2030, global data center capacity will reach 273 gigawatts ( GW ), higher than the previous forecast of 217GW. Goldman Sachs particularly increased its forecast for data center capacity in the United States.

However, on November 5th, Goldman Sachs stated that the unexpected victory of the Democratic Party in the mid-term elections in the United States could have a significant impact on the regulatory environment for AI and the data center industry. It is estimated that this could affect about 45% of the planned data center capacity expansions in the U.S., with Texas accounting for 25% of that figure. Goldman Sachs noted that some of the American utility companies and power generation enterprises that supply electricity to data centers may face increased pressure as a result.

Related to data center construction, many domestic optical module manufacturers have overseas data center customers as their downstream clients. As of 10:38 on November 6th, in the A-share optical module sector, Zhongji Xuchuang (300308. SZ) fell by 6.99%, Xinyisheng (300502. SZ) fell by 5.65%, and Tianfu Communication (300394. SZ) fell by 3.47%.

Circle Freezes Approximately $1.1 Billion, USDC: Why Does On-Chain Security Need to Race Against Attackers in Speed?

In traditional finance, abnormal funds often circulate across multiple institutions on a daily basis; on the blockchain, however, an asset can traverse different networks, trading platforms, and judicial jurisdictions in just a few seconds. On November 5th, Circle issued a statement regarding an attack reported on Binance, stating that the digital assets involved in this incident were reportedly worth over $6 billion. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) attributed responsibility to actors associated with North Korea. The investigation is still ongoing, and the facts may continue to change. Circle also disclosed that it coordinated with law enforcement authorities to freeze approximately $1.1 billion in related USDC.

EU's foreign investment stock declines by 2.3%, but this does not mean that capital is collectively withdrawing

A figure of nearly 9.5 trillion euros declining by 2.3% can easily be summarized as "capital flight." However, the stock of foreign direct investment is not merely a statement of new capital inflows and outflows; it is also affected by exchange rates, asset valuations, corporate reorganizations, and special purpose entities. Data released on November 5th for 2025 by Eurostat indicates that the stock of non-EU direct investments held by EU residents has dropped to 9,479 billion euros, a decrease of 2.3% from 9,701 billion euros in 2024; meanwhile, the stock of EU investments held by non-EU investors has fallen to 6,988 billion euros, representing a year-on-year reduction of 2.8%.

The Bank of England raises interest rates to 4%; the real challenge is whether the energy shock will remain

A single interest rate hike can be described with a single number, but the Bank of England's decision in November was more like an attempt to answer a timing question: whether the rise in energy prices would be a short-lived shock or if it would penetrate into wages, service prices, and inflation expectations, lingering longer than anticipated. The results of the meeting announced on November 5th showed that the Monetary Policy Committee decided by a vote of 8 to 1 to raise bank rates by 25 basis points to 4%; the only dissenting vote called for a 50 basis point increase to 4.25%. The disagreement was not about the fact that energy has become more expensive, but about how forcefully to prevent a second-round effect. For households, this is not an abstract debate in a conference room; it will be reflected directly in energy bills, mortgage rates, and real purchasing power.
