EXCERPT:
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a stark warning that a collapse in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks could send shockwaves through international markets and trigger a devastating global financial crisis.
The warning comes as soaring valuations and massive borrowing expose the financial system to mounting risks.
In its latest Global Financial Stability Report, the IMF identifies an increasingly dangerous combination: concentrated technology investments, rising corporate debt, and complex financial relationships tying major companies to weaker AI businesses.
A sudden loss of confidence could force investors to sell, drive prices lower, weaken financial institutions, and spread turmoil far beyond Silicon Valley.
The IMF highlights the extraordinary concentration of market value in America’s largest technology companies.
Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla, the so-called Magnificent Seven, now account for more than 35% of the S&P 500.
