What happened
TS Lombard modeled a scenario where the current AI investment boom ends, predicting a potential market correction. In this scenario, U.S. stocks could fall by at least 30%, wiping out approximately $20 trillion in market value. The report notes that Intel stock plunged 29% in one day, and CoreWeave stock dropped 35% over the month amid worries about an AI slowdown and weak balance sheet.

Why it matters
The firm argues that the recent market volatility may signal the beginning of the end of the AI boom, though it does not claim to know when this will occur. TS Lombard advises investors to maintain a normal amount of risk through diversified global stocks and wait for clear strain before adding government bonds.
