Stocks and the Economy Are Increasingly Relying on the A.I. Boom

NYT Economy | positive | Subscription | Published: 11:46 Jul 22, 2026 (Eastern)

The article reports that U.S. stock markets and the broader economy have become increasingly dependent on investment in artificial intelligence. Major stock indexes have reached repeated record highs, with the total U.S. stock market value exceeding $75 trillion—roughly two and a half times annual U.S. economic output, itself described as a record ratio. According to the article, AI-related stocks account for approximately half of the S&P 500's gains this year, while AI infrastructure spending—on semiconductor factories, data centers, power plants, and transmission lines—is generating real economic activity. Wealth created by rising stock valuations has also supported consumer spending, particularly among affluent Americans. The article notes, however, that this reliance creates a significant vulnerability: a loss of investor confidence in AI could disrupt the economic activity built around it. Bank of America's July global fund-manager survey identified a bursting of the AI bubble as the top risk to financial markets, and the article frames it as a key risk to the broader economy as well. Apollo Global Management chief economist Torsten Slok is quoted saying the AI narrative has been 'holding everything up.'

Keywords: artificial intelligence, stock market, investment, economic growth, sector concentration, equity valuations, spending
