Ray Dalio warns: AI 'bubble' reminiscent of the Internet bubble crisis

A Golden Finance report warned that billionaire investor Dalio warned that investors’ enthusiasm for artificial intelligence has created a ‘bubble’ in the US stock market, similar to the situation before the turn of the century when the Internet bubble burst. Ray Dalio says that the current U.S. stock market is ‘very high in valuation and also has interest rate risk, and this combination could burst the bubble.’ As the founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates and one of the most well-known figures on Wall Street, Dalio’s warning comes at a time when people are concerned about whether the boom in U.S. AI stocks has gone too far. Investors are also worried about rising borrowing costs, a concern that has become more acute since December last year when Federal Reserve officials lowered their expectations for interest rate cuts this year. Dalio afirmou: “A posição cíclica em que nos encontramos agora é muito semelhante à situação de 1998 ou 1999.” Ele acrescentou: “Em outras palavras, há uma nova e importante tecnologia que certamente mudará o mundo e terá sucesso. No entanto, algumas pessoas confundem isso com o sucesso dos investimentos.” (FXStreet)
