## Key points

- AI stocks have faced another sharp sell-off.
- Debt and circular investment add to bubble concerns.
- Data centre opposition could delay projects and raise costs.

## Summary

Tech stocks have suffered a third sharp sell-off in recent weeks, renewing fears that enthusiasm for artificial intelligence has driven prices into a bubble. The commentary argues that AI’s practical value does not rule out a market crash, and that investors are watching for a trigger that could turn existing concerns into a deeper correction.

Risks include heavy and creatively structured borrowing, uncertain revenue prospects and investment flowing between AI companies: the Bank for International Settlements says nearly 29 per cent of AI firms’ investment deals involve other AI firms, while more than half of incoming investment comes from them. The article points to US voters’ opposition to new data centres as a possible catalyst, since tougher approvals could delay projects and raise costs, especially for those financed with debt. It also notes that oil fell below US$100 a barrel after reaching US$118 late the previous month, amid hopes that political pressure could hasten an end to the Iran war.
