AI 'Overheats' the Markets

Markets, fueled by enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) and easing monetary policy, are near record highs. However, top fund managers and analysts are warning of the risk of an 'artificial' inflationary surge due to the massive investment frenzy surrounding AI. The combination of government fiscal packages and excessive investment in data centers could reignite inflationary pressures. The race of tech giants to build new data centers creates an additional inflationary shock, increasing the cost of energy and microchips. Investors are concerned about potential tightening of monetary policy and the end of the interest rate cut cycle.
