According to the Guardian, a drop in share prices on Wall Street on Thursday has prompted speculation about whether recent volatility could develop into a larger decline across financial markets.

The Guardian reported that markets around the world have been affected as investors consider a slowdown in artificial intelligence following the US midterm elections.

This is not the first occasion in recent months when markets have been affected by worries about a bubble in technology stocks, the Guardian noted, leaving uncertainty over whether the latest decline signals the start of a major downturn.
