⚠️ Several risks are now piling up in the markets at once. And in my opinion, it's wise not to underestimate them.
In recent days, a rather unpleasant combination of factors has been building for investors:
🌍 The war with Iran and tensions in the Middle East continue to increase uncertainty. Brent is currently trading around $108 per barrel, which again creates inflationary pressure.
📈 The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds has reached up to 5%, levels that are very uncomfortable for stocks – especially for growth and technology companies.
😨 The Fear & Greed Index is hovering around 30, so investor sentiment is currently in fear territory. As recently as September 10, the index stood at 33.
🤖 And on top of that, a completely new risk is emerging – a possible slowdown in artificial intelligence development.
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, openly called for slowing down the development of the most advanced AI models. His stance was also supported by Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk. The reasons are growing concerns about cyberattacks, loss of control over autonomous systems, and other security risks.
On the other side, however, there is geopolitics. Donald Trump ($TSLA , $SPCX) is making it clear that in his view, the US must not slow down in the AI race, because the main rival is China. His logic is essentially: whoever wins AI gains a huge technological and geopolitical advantage.
And this very clash will, in my opinion, be extremely important to watch. AI safety vs. the US-China race for technological dominance.
