What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East has caused oil prices to soar, which has triggered an inflation spike. This inflation prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates last week. Amid geopolitical conflict and closures in Hormuz, AI labs such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI are discussing slowing the pace of AI development to mitigate potential risks.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The combination of high valuations in the S&P 500, soaring oil prices, interest rate hikes, and potential AI slowdown risks could threaten the current bull market. Furthermore, higher interest costs could deal a blow to the earnings of tech giants that borrow billions to fund AI data center infrastructure.
