Nasdaq moves lower after Meta announces it is to build a cloud business to sell its excess AI compute, weighing on cloud peers like AMZN, ORCL, MSFT and chip and memory names like NVDA, MU, INTO. As Bloomberg reports:

This move comes after SpaceX started leasing its 'excess compute' (which is struggling now that it has competition in selling 'compute'):
