AI bubble is a 'rolling sequence' across sectors, strategist says · 2 sources tracked

Dhaval Joshi, a strategist formerly with BCA Research, argues that the concept of a single AI bubble is misleading. Instead, he posits that the market is experiencing a 'rolling sequence of bubbles' where value is rapidly inflated and then deflated across various sectors. This phenomenon is evident in the volatility of software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks, silver prices, and semiconductor stocks, as investors misjudge and then correct their expectations about which areas will capture AI's value. Joshi suggests that the extreme magnitude and rapidity of these market movements indicate more than just normal price discovery, pointing to a narrative contagion or mania that briefly inflates and then deflates sectors. AI

IMPACT Suggests that AI-driven market volatility is a recurring pattern across sectors, impacting SaaS, silver, and semiconductors.
