Two AI market corrections: overvaluation in China, debt risk in the US
AI has produced two different stock market corrections in 2026. In China, the STAR 50 has lost 43% since late June and trades below its level at the start of the year; in the US, the Nasdaq 100 is down 14% from its October peak, after its worst session since March 2020 on November 5. Both markets corrected an overvaluation worsened by politics, but overvaluation was greater in China and the risk to financial stability is greater in the US, where AI investment is increasingly financed with debt.
