The European Central Bank (ECB) has expressed alarm about a possible bubble in the stock market related to artificial intelligence (AI). In its semi-annual financial stability review, the ECB noted that the stock market, especially in the United States, is increasingly dependent on several companies considered leaders in the field of AI. This concentration raises concerns about the possibility of an AI asset bubble. Investors demand a low premium for owning stocks and bonds, and funds have reduced their cash reserves, which can cause a shortage of cash and forced asset sales. The central bank warned that if investors' expectations for the revenues of these companies are not met, then a sudden drop in asset prices may occur, which threatens adverse global consequences. The ECB expressed concern about the low liquidity of assets and the reduction of funds' cash reserves, which could lead to forced asset sales and a decrease in their value. Among other risks, the ECB noted the vulnerability of the eurozone to trade fragmentation and possible negative consequences from the introduction of tariffs, as well as an increase in borrowing by eurozone countries at higher interest rates.
