AI Remains Center Stage—for Better or Worse—in Financial Markets, as Sentiment Swings Between Neutral and Risk-Off

AI remains the main protagonist, for better or worse, in financial markets. The week draws to a close with renewed concerns about profitability and the potential disruption that new technology could cause in other sectors (from software to financial services). Investors remain nervous and overall sentiment fluctuates between neutral and risk-off, with significant sector rotation and stabilization in gold. January’s U.S. inflation data will provide further clues about the future of U.S. monetary policy. Futures indicate a flat open for Europe and a negative start for the United States.
