  Additional U.S. AI-server/GPU export-control enforcement action

  A narrow tightening of China-facing AI hardware enforcement produces a modest broad-market decline but a concentrated technology selloff: equities fall 0.3%, erasing about $288B over 20 days. Technology bears most of the loss, while telecommunications is roughly flat; tighter restrictions weigh most heavily on semiconductor and equipment valuations.
