Story summary

Temasek warned a reversal in the AI trade could become the biggest market risk in 2027.
Chief investment officer Rohit Sipahimalani said AI has kept U.S. stocks near highs despite rising Treasury yields.
He noted half of Russell 3000 constituents sit at least 20% below June highs, showing market fragility.
Temasek plans to lift its AI allocation from 6% to up to 15% by 2031, increasing listed-asset share to 70-75%.

History

Historical Context

After the NASDAQ peaked on March 10 2000 and later fell 78%, erasing about $5 trillion in value, the dot-com bust taught investors that speculative tech funding can trigger massive corrections. Temasek’s 2027 warning that AI-driven equity inflows may repeat that pattern echoes the same over-valuation risk, prompting the SEC to consider tighter AI-fund disclosures.
