Dan Ives, partner at Yorkville Ives, called the \"white‑knuckle drawdown\" a golden buying opportunity, while BTIG warned that \"where there is smoke, there is fire\" and urged investors to stay cautious.\n\nCoreWeave and Nebius are each opening higher by about 3%, but both remain down roughly 25% from the previous week’s losses. The Cboe Volatility Index hit its highest level since June, signalling growing fear of a broader correction. Meanwhile, 85% of S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have beaten expectations, and mixed global cues – such as China’s better‑than‑expected Q3 GDP and a dip in oil prices after Russian sanctions talk – are adding to market uncertainty.","keyPoints":["Nasdaq fell 4.5% last week as AI boom cracked, but futures point to a modest rebound on Monday.","Dan Ives calls the drawdown a \"golden buying opportunity\" while BTIG warns investors to stay cautious.","CoreWeave and Nebius each dropped about 25% last week, and the VIX hit its highest level since June."],"whyItMatters":"A modest rebound in tech stocks shows investors see value despite AI sector volatility, influencing capital allocation and market sentiment.","category":{"slug":"business","name":"Business & Funding","url":"https://digestai.news/category/business"},"entities":{"companies":["Yorkville Ives","BTIG","CoreWeave","Nebius","CXMT","Cboe"],"models":[],"people":["Dan Ives","Michael Khouw","Vladimir Putin","Donald Trump","Emmanuel Macron","Chris Thomas"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-19T12:00:15Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-19T12:00:15Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"CNBC Technology","title":"Investors are buying on Monday despite fear the AI trade nightmare scenario is far from over","url":"https://cnbc.com/2026/10/19/stocks-buying-opportunity-ai-selloff.html","publishedAt":"2026-10-19T12:00:15Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Investors buy tech stocks on Monday despite AI downturn fears\", 19 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/investors-buy-tech-stocks-on-monday-despite-ai-downturn-fears","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Investors buy tech stocks on Monday despite AI downturn fears","datePublished":"2026-10-19T12:00:15Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/investors-buy-tech-stocks-on-monday-despite-ai-downturn-fears"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
