How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was largely uniform across outlets, with a bias spread of just 0.0 points and all headlines adopting straightforwardly descriptive market language. The shared framing relied on neutral financial verbs — "tumble," "sink," and "deepens" — that are standard in business reporting and carry no ideological charge. The only modest distinction worth noting is that the Telegraph anchored its headline around a specific geopolitical cause, framing the selloff as something "China's chip breakthrough triggers," which foregrounds an international competitive angle rather than the market movement itself. By contrast, the Financial Times and Yahoo Finance kept their focus squarely on the asset-price action, referencing the "AI sell-off" without attributing a named external catalyst. This is a difference in editorial emphasis — cause-led versus effect-led framing — rather than any meaningful ideological divergence.
