Tesla and Alphabet Trigger Nasdaq 2.5% Selloff as Oil Nears $100 Nauman Khan Thu, July 23, 2026 at 1:07 PM EDT 1 min read TSL This article first appeared on GuruFocus . Tesla (TSLA) and Alphabet ( NASDAQ:GOOGL ) shares led a broad market selloff on Thursday after investors reacted to higher artificial intelligence spending, sending the Nasdaq Composite down about 2.5% and the S&P 500 lower about 1.5%, while rising Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude close to $100 a barrel. Tesla fell about 12% after reporting quarterly earnings that missed profit expectations despite stronger revenue, while Alphabet dropped roughly 7% after lifting its 2026 capital expenditure outlook to as much as $205 billion. The decline weighed on major indexes, with other large-cap technology stocks also trading lower. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with PLTR. Is TSL fairly valued?

Separately, the company also faced a roughly $1 billion European Union fine tied to its search business, adding to investor concerns. Oil prices extended recent gains after reports that Iran-backed Houthi forces attacked two Saudi oil tankers. Brent crude climbed more than 6% to nearly $100 per barrel, while U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate rose about 5%. Higher energy prices also lifted Treasury yields as investors reassessed inflation and interest-rate expectations. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to its highest level since January 2025, while traders increased expectations for potential Federal Reserve rate hikes over the coming months.
AI 시장 분석
The Nasdaq index fell 2.5% due to sharp drops in Tesla and Alphabet stocks and concerns over increasing AI investment costs. Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East pushed Brent crude close to $100, fueling inflation concerns and rising Treasury yields. Weak earnings from large-scale tech stocks and high oil price risks are combining to act as strong downward pressure on global stock markets overall. Investors need to closely examine the possibility of additional rate hikes and the efficiency of infrastructure investments.
