A Bank of America monthly survey found the AI-led rally is likely to continue, with FOMO still driving the trade. Among fund managers surveyed, 56% described the AI cycle as in a ‘‘boom/expansion’’ phase, 21% called it ‘‘euphoria’’ and 9% ‘‘profit-taking’’. The survey covered investors managing $465bn AUM and ran June 5–11, ahead of the SpaceX IPO. Eighty percent said buy-and-hold global semiconductor positions are the most crowded trade, the highest reading in the survey’s history. Respondents trimmed technology overweight from 33% to 26% and cut global equity overweight from 50% to 38%.
