Top Wall Street Strategist Warns Of Possible Market Bubble, Points To Tech Concentration In S&P 500 And AI Hype
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
JPMorgan Chase's chief market strategist, Marko Kolanovic, warns of a potential market bubble due to the S&P 500's increasing levels of stock concentration, which have reached 60-year highs. Six mega-cap tech companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, NVIDIA, and Salesforce, account for 51% of the S&P 500's gains this year. Kolanovic also warns of the current AI frenzy, which could end in disillusionment. Potential catalysts for a large stock reversal include aggressive interest rate hikes, declining consumer savings, and a troubling geopolitical environment.
