Dow Futures (<a href=\"\/stock\/YM=F\">YM=F<\/a>) also indicated a negative sentiment, down <strong>419.00 points (-0.88%)<\/strong>. This broad-based decline marked a shift from earlier market optimism, with the ongoing U.S. government shutdown further contributing to economic uncertainty by limiting the release of key economic indicators.<\/p>\n<p>The primary narrative driving the market&#39;s downturn was the <strong>re-evaluation of AI stock valuations<\/strong>, leading to a significant pullback in several technology-related companies. This sentiment was exacerbated by a bleak U.S. job report from Challenger, Gray &amp; Christmas, which revealed that U.S. employers announced <strong>153,074 job cuts in October<\/strong>, marking the highest level for that month in 22 years. These job losses, attributed to cost-cutting and AI-driven changes, fueled concerns about the broader economic outlook and the potential for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, despite a hawkish tone from the Fed Chairman previously.<\/p>\n<p>Among the <strong>Dow&#39;s biggest gainers<\/strong> for the day were <strong>Chevron<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/CVX\">CVX<\/a>), which rose <strong>1.13%<\/strong> to <strong>$154.30<\/strong>, <strong>IBM<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/IBM\">IBM<\/a>) climbing <strong>0.85%<\/strong> to <strong>$309.415<\/strong>, and <strong>Merck &amp; Co.<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/MRK\">MRK<\/a>) increasing <strong>0.84%<\/strong> to <strong>$85.125<\/strong>. Conversely, the <strong>biggest losers<\/strong> were largely concentrated in the technology and growth sectors, reflecting the AI valuation concerns. <strong>Salesforce<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>) saw the steepest decline, plummeting <strong>5.07%<\/strong> to <strong>$240.07<\/strong>. <strong>Nvidia<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>) also experienced a significant drop of <strong>2.86%<\/strong> to <strong>$189.31<\/strong>, while <strong>Amazon<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/AMZN\">AMZN<\/a>) fell <strong>2.31%<\/strong> to
