NEW YORK / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – The Dow Jones Industrial has reached a new record high and exceeded the 48,000 point mark. This comes amid expectations of an early end to the government shutdown in the US. While the Dow rose, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 underperformed as investors increasingly questioned lofty valuations in the artificial intelligence sector.

The US stock market again showed investors’ clear preference for standard stocks on Wednesday, which was reflected in the renewed rise of the Dow Jones Industrial. The index crossed the 48,000 point mark, reaching a new record high not seen since the end of October. This development is supported by the hope that the government shutdown in the USA will soon end, which will strengthen investor confidence.
In contrast, the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 showed weakness and closed slightly in the red. This development is due to investors’ increasing skepticism towards the high valuations in the field of artificial intelligence. Despite the megatrend that AI represents, investors are beginning to question the sustainability of these valuations, which is negatively impacting the Nasdaq’s performance.
The market-wide S&P 500, on the other hand, was able to improve slightly and increased by 0.06 percent. This moderate development shows that the market remains stable overall, even if technology stocks are under pressure. Investors appear to be more cautious at the moment, particularly with regard to the technology sectors, which have grown strongly in recent years.
Another factor influencing the markets is the discussion about the future role of artificial intelligence and its influence on company valuations. While some experts remain optimistic that AI offers significant long-term value creation potential, there are also voices that warn against overestimation. This divergence in opinions is reflected in the volatility of the technology markets.
The current market situation shows that investors are increasingly differentiating and no longer relying on the technology trend across the board. Instead, we take a closer look at which companies can actually develop sustainable business models in the area of artificial intelligence. In the long term, this development could lead to healthier market dynamics in which solid business models are rewarded.
