The hype surrounding artificial intelligence has propelled technology company shares to record highs, with the Nasdaq Composite experiencing its longest winning streak since 2019. Supporters of the rally argue that software developers, chip makers, and other AI-focused companies have the potential to lead a transformative technological revolution. However, skeptics believe that identifying the few companies that will dominate the industry is challenging. Despite inflation concerns and potential interest rate hikes, investors are less worried about the Federal Reserve's impact on the tech rally than in previous years. Tech stocks may face challenges if the Federal Reserve's actions are misinterpreted, leading to interest rate hikes slowing the market. Uncertainty persists over whether top tech companies can satisfy their shareholders' demands for consistent growth and sustainable earnings.
