IMF Monitors Volatility in Artificial Intelligence Stocks
The institution states it is too early to assess long-term changes in tech sector profitability.
The International Monetary Fund is closely monitoring fluctuations in the valuations of artificial intelligence companies. Spokesperson Julie Kozack stated that the current moment does not allow for definitive conclusions regarding a loss of investor interest in the sector.
The resignation of the Nvidia CEO triggered recent declines in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices. Meanwhile, other companies such as Microsoft, Alphabet, and Advanced Micro Devices showed upward movements in the stock market.
The IMF is also observing potential policy changes in the United States that could affect the construction of new data centers. The institution is evaluating whether these shifts might impact future productivity and the profitability of tech firms.
Furthermore, the Fund identifies investment in artificial intelligence as one of the factors pressuring U.S. inflation. Demand for data infrastructure adds to high energy costs resulting from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
For the IMF, maintaining a restrictive monetary policy by the Federal Reserve remains necessary. The central goal is to ensure disinflation and a gradual return of prices to the established 2% annual target.
