Hazaltri: Hedge funds bet against AI stocks in July
Hasseltree platform data showed that hedge funds increased their bets on the decline of stocks related to artificial intelligence in July 2026, even as global chip company shares declined. U.S. chip stocks fell by 20%, and the KOSDAQ index in Korea dropped by 22%, marking the largest monthly decline since 2008. Despite the falling stock prices, hedge funds reduced their positions in Nvidia, though they generally remain inclined to buy, with increased short positions on stocks such as Super Micro, Kore Wav, and Nebios. The high levels of short-selling are expected to lead to sharp price volatility, as investors continue to channel capital into companies demonstrating real revenue-generating capabilities from AI investments. Overall investor appetite for hedge funds has waned following the reduced bets on the chip and AI sectors.
