The world is on the verge of a massive financial bubble driven by the growing market share of tech companies.

 

 

THE world is on the verge of the largest financial mar­ket bubble since the 19th century, driven by the growing market share of technology com­panies, Russian oil giant Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin said on Saturday.

 

“Over the past ten years, the share of the ten largest technology companies in the US stock mar­ket has tripled, exceeding 40 per cent,” Sechin said at the Saint Pe­tersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

 

He added that taking into ac­count the expected launch of such giants as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, with a combined valu­ation of several trillion dollars, this figure will approach 50 per cent.

 

“Clearly, the world is on the verge of the largest financial mar­ket bubble in history since the railroad boom in the United States in the 19th century,” the Rosneft CEO pointed out.
