AI rally fades as inflation concerns resurface amid U.S.-Iran tensions

7On month 10day, the Euro Stoxx 600ended flat. The backdrop is that the AI rally failed to show as much momentum as before.

On the same day, fresh U.S.-Iran clashes in the Middle East rekindled inflation worries among investors. This pushed up international oil prices and put upward pressure on government bond yields.

In the market, signals emerged that momentum in the technology sector was weakening, while energy-related assets were showing relative strength. Investors are paying closer attention to safe-haven assets and fluctuations in commodity prices.

Some investors were said to be revisiting inflation indicators and central bank policy expectations. It was a day when volatility in the bond market and the crude oil market affected stock movements.

This trend was not limited to a single region and spread across the global financial markets. In particular, it is notable that leading AI-centered stocks have entered a short-term correction phase.

Market participants are watching future inflation indicators, geopolitical developments, and crude oil supply conditions. In the short term, movements in oil prices and interest rates are likely to determine stock trends.
