What happened, for context

Five economists at the European Central Bank published an analysis on 17 August 2026 warning that current AI-driven stock market valuations are likely to experience a correction. The economists compared the current boom to previous technological revolutions (railways, electricity, radio, dot-com) and argued that valuations at near-historical peaks suggest a pullback is probable even if AI delivers on productivity expectations.
