AI hype is still driving share prices higher but there are a growing number of voices warning of a stock market bubble that might soon burst.
The Bank of England added its name to the list of those raising concerns this week, as its Financial Policy Committee drew comparisons with the ‘dotcom’ boom 25 years ago that soon turned to bust.
The red flags include a number of high profile, huge money deals involving OpenAI, with Oracle, Nvidia and now AMD, along with a massive data centre infrastructure splurge and questions over the robustness of credit markets.
But why has AI gone from great investment hope to potential market super villain in a short space of time? What on earth is going on with US tech giants’ ‘I give you money, you buy my stuff’ deals? And are there genuine parallels to be drawn with the dotcom boom, or the months before the credit crunch?
On this podcast, Georgie Frost, Angharad Carrick and Simon Lambert, look at why people are worried about an AI bubble popping and what investors can do to protect themselves.
Plus, could you claim some money back from the car finance compensation that the FCA announced this week?
Could we really scrap stamp duty – and would that be a good idea?
And why did some households manage to may nothing for their electricity last week?
