The ongoing sell-off in AI stocks is raising concerns among investors about a potential market correction. Analysts warn that high valuations and debt levels in the AI sector could lead to significant declines, with some predicting drops of 40% or more.
As investors flee from tech stocks, they are increasingly turning to government bonds and defensive sectors for safety. The IMF has also highlighted the risks posed by the AI sector to global financial stability, citing the potential for a crash due to overvaluation and rising interest rates.
