Tech jitters
24 November 2025
Key takeaways
- The recent pick-up in US tech stock volatility comes amid increased concerns over huge capex commitments. There may also be concerns that US economic growth is becoming increasingly lopsided
- The narrative around AI – and the strong revenue generation potential that it brings – can remain a powerful driver of US stock market momentum
- But given the ongoing uncertainty around the AI business model, episodic volatility in US stocks could become the norm in 2026
- Geographically diversified portfolios may be the ideal route to maximising returns and limiting exposure to downside AI and US macro risks
- We believe investors need to think more holistically around assets and strategies to build portfolio resilience
