are increasing<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-10-03\/goldman-clients-most-bullish-in-10-months-as-ai-rally-spurs-fomo?srnd=phx-markets\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported, citing Goldman Sachs Group\u2019s trading desk. The trend, driven by a strong fear of missing out (FOMO), is at its highest levels since December 2024, causing investors to overlook risks like uncertainties in valuations, trade market, and the slowing labor market. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">AI gains on optimism:<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"> Some 40% of clients surveyed expect the S&amp;P 500 Index to outpace global peers in October, putting the bullish sentiment at its highest level since December 2024. The heavy-tech index closed on a record high 27 times from June to 3 October, primarily due to AI bullishness, according to Bloomberg\u2019s data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Going strong: <\/strong>Goldman Sachs clients indicated they plan to double down on their investments in the so-called \u201cMagnificent Seven\u201d tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft. Over 50% of people surveyed are eyeing AI infrastructure stocks, with the majority expecting momentum to outplay the S&amp;P 500 by year-end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BUT- Is the AI bubble about to burst?<\/strong> We\u2019re seeing more signs of peak bubble status, including massive capital expenditure by major tech companies and US stock market concentration, Ian Harnett says in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c7b9453e-f528-4fc3-9bbd-3dbd369041be\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a>. Staggering stock prices, as well as companies sealing agreements with each other and purchasing one another\u2019s products, are also among signs of a bubble burst, Harnett argued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Others concur:<\/strong> \u201cWhile almost all indicators point up, this setup also increases the probability of rapid unwinds down the road. Buyers beware,\u201d Oscar Ostlund, global head of content strategy, market analytics and data science for Goldman\u2019s digital platform Marquee told Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>History repeats itself: <\/strong>The pattern mirrors historical tech revolutions, most notably the TMT (dot-com) bubble of the late 1990s, which also saw a boom in infrastructure spending before it reached its endgame, Harnett added. Tech bubbles tend to burst not because the technology itself fails, but due to external pressures like regulation, competition, or slowing customer demand, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The long-term scene could be more nuanced<\/strong>. A burst, while painful for late-stage investors, is often a necessary part of the innovation cycle, Harnett argues. The \u201ccreative destruction\u201d inherent to bubbles ends up giving access to new technologies at lower prices, leading to the technology being embedded in society, he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mostly in the green this morning<\/strong>. Japan\u2019s Nikkei is leading the gains with a 4.5% rise in early trading, following a record high yesterday after pro-stimulus Sanae Takaichi was picked to head the ruling Liberal Democratic Party \u2014 and possibly become Japan\u2019s first female prime minister. Meanwhile, Wall Street futures are little changed as the US government shutdown drags on.<\/p>\n<div class=\"stock-ticker-panel\">\n<table class=\"table stock-ticker-table
