ECB Warns Markets Over AI-Driven Concentration
The European Central Bank in its Financial Stability Review on Wednesday warned that AI-related equity valuations and concentration among U.S. hyperscalers are elevating market vulnerability to sharp adjustments. The report said price gains may reflect investors' fear of missing out despite robust earnings, noting the Magnificent Seven are up 24% year-to-date. It cautioned that liquidity mismatches and concentrated exposures could amplify losses if technology earnings disappoint.
