The AI trade is still one of the biggest forces in markets—but the warnings are getting louder.

The Bank for International Settlements has flagged risks around stretched tech valuations, AI-linked financing, and the possibility that a sharp correction could spill into broader credit and bond markets.

That does not mean the AI boom is over. It means investors may need to separate real earnings power from hype-driven momentum.

Finance takeaway: the next phase of this market may reward selectivity more than enthusiasm. Strong balance sheets, durable cash flows, and realistic growth assumptions matter more when valuations are this sensitive.
