Decline in AI concept stocks triggers margin pressure; Wall Street banks require some hedge funds to post additional collateral

TechFlow news, July 29, according to the UK's Financial Times, recently AI concept stocks have continued to correct, and Wall Street banks have required some hedge funds with concentrated positions and high leverage to post additional collateral to maintain existing financing levels. The Nasdaq 100 Index retreated 10% from its early June high at one point, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has cumulatively fallen about 25% since the end of June. Against the backdrop of significant declines in related individual stocks, long-short strategy and multi-strategy hedge funds recorded significant drawdowns in a single day, reflecting that AI trade crowding and leverage risks are being exposed at an accelerating pace.
