The US stock markets ended a week full of challenges with a conciliatory, if unspectacular, conclusion. On Friday, indices managed to pare losses in late trading, even as concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) continued to weigh heavily on markets. The Dow Jones Industrial held its own with a slight increase of 0.16 percent to 46,987.10 points, while the technology-heavy NASDAQ 100 fell by 0.28 percent to 25,059.81 points.
The discussions about a possible bubble in the field of artificial intelligence have put investors worldwide on alert. Experts like Jürgen Molnar from RoboMarkets are watching the situation closely and wondering whether the massive investments in AI are actually justified. These uncertainties are reflected in the prices, which remained under pressure despite positive economic data from the USA.
The S&P 500, another important index, gained 0.13 percent to 6,728.80 points on Friday. Nevertheless, similar to the Dow Jones, it recorded a weekly loss of over one percent. The NASDAQ 100 in particular, which is heavily influenced by technology companies, suffered a weekly loss of over three percent. This development shows how strongly the markets are reacting to the uncertainties in the area of AI.
Analysts such as André Sadowsky from Commerzbank emphasize that investors are increasingly questioning whether current price levels are justified by the expected profits from AI investments. This skepticism could lead to further volatility in the markets in the coming weeks. The question of whether the AI hype will lead to a bubble remains unanswered for the time being, but the nervousness among investors is palpable.
