Despite widespread concerns that the meteoric rise in AI-related stocks has created a market bubble, a recent pullback in these high-flying tech shares has been largely absorbed by gains in other sectors, effectively neutralizing the impact of any potential downturn. This resilience suggests that while individual sectors may experience significant volatility, the broader market’s ability to offset these fluctuations with gains elsewhere has historically allowed it to weather and recover from speculative excesses, though the question remains whether this trend will hold when the ‘big one’ inevitably arrives.
