Global equities fell as a selloff in the artificial-intelligence trade gathered speed and pushed investors toward the safety of bonds.

S&P 500 futures were down 0.3 percent while Nasdaq 100 contracts retreated 1.2 percent. The leg lower came as Anthropic PBC disclosed $16.8 billion in third-quarter growth to prospective investors, figures that suggested the pace of growth had slowed even as it remained robust.

An exchange-traded fund tracking chipmakers signaled the sector’s six-day selloff was set to continue. CoreWeave Inc. fell a further 6 percent in premarket trading after Wednesday’s 15 percent rout when its bonds also dropped to levels that typically show distress.
