Strong investor interest in AI-related stocks

BY Janne Muta

|May 29, 2023

The US equities gained on Friday as investors kept on pouring money into the big tech names with the hope of those stocks gaining on AI-frenzy. The DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average) increased by 1.00%, and the S&P 500 by 1.30%. The best performer though was Nasdaq Composite which rallied 2.19%. The UK's FTSE 100 experienced a more modest increase of 0.65% while the German DAX climbed 0.98%. In commodities trading, USOIL saw a gain of 1.49%, while XAUUSD showed a smaller increase of 0.33%. In the FX market, the JPY weakened by 0.41% against the US dollar, and the Euro started to stabilise against the US dollar after a tree week downtrend. The EURUSD pair finished the day unchanged.

Nvidia's impressive rally last week has brought its market capitalization close to $1 trillion. The surge in the stock reflects the unusually strong investor interest and confidence in AI-related stocks. While valuations of AI-related companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Meta are relatively high compared to the S&P 500's average multiple, the US stock market isn’t yet in a bubble stage. Instead, it suggests that we may be witnessing the early stages of a major rally in AI-related stocks.

Accordion to WSJ, one factor contributing to the ongoing rally in blue-chip stocks is the limited supply of initial public offerings (IPOs). With a scarcity of opportunities in the IPO market, investors are increasingly drawn to established blue-chip companies that are leading in the AI field. This demand for AI investments has outpaced the available market cap, fueling the upward momentum in these stocks.
