<p>Analysts at JPMorgan Chase noted that AI trades dominate the S&P 500, with significant weightings in semiconductors and hyperscalers like Amazon and Microsoft. Despite strong momentum and substantial investments in AI hardware, a sell-off could occur if profit-taking increases or unexpected events arise.
