Temasek Chief Investment Officer warns: AI trading reversal is the biggest market risk, turbulence may occur in 2027
Temasek's CIO stated that AI-driven trading reversals represent the greatest market risk, with possible turbulence in 2027; however, he remains optimistic in the long term and plans to raise public AI exposure to 70%—75%.
Golden Ten Data APP has learned that Singaporean state-owned investment giant Temasek stated that a reversal in artificial intelligence trading is the greatest risk facing the market.
Temasek Chief Investment Officer Rohit Sipahimalani said, "We don’t see this as an imminent issue, but could there be volatility in 2027? Yes, it’s possible."
Sipahimalani said that even if US Treasury yields rise sharply, AI remains one of the key factors supporting US stocks near record highs, noting that large companies related to this technology are delivering strong earnings performance.
He pointed out that despite rising borrowing costs, the S&P 500 Index is still hovering near record highs, supported by "AI and the earnings momentum surrounding the leading players."
However, the strength of the index masks underlying weakness. Sipahimalani noted that about half of the components in the Russell 3000 Index have fallen at least 20% from their June peaks, highlighting how much the market’s resilience relies on a handful of winners.
He said a reversal in AI trading could be triggered by multiple factors, including safety concerns that lead to regulatory tightening or signs that clients’ investments in this technology are not generating sufficient returns.
Nevertheless, Temasek remains long-term bullish on artificial intelligence and continues to increase its investments in this field. Sipahimalani said about half of the company’s current AI exposure is allocated to publicly traded assets, ideally aiming to raise this proportion to around 70% to 75%.
Compared to private assets, which are harder to exit quickly, this will give Temasek greater flexibility to adjust investments as the industry evolves.
"One thing we recognize is that AI is an extremely fast-moving environment where things can easily change, and you have to be able to pivot," he said.
Temasek has invested in private AI model developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic, but "the scale of exposure in these areas is different from some areas where we have greater flexibility," said Sipahimalani.

BUZZ-"Broker Opinions" Observation: As growth drivers for artificial intelligence continue to increase, Wall Street’s attitude towards Marvell Electronics is becoming more positive.
October 7 - Marvell Technology (MRVL.O) on Tuesday raised its fiscal 2028 revenue forecast to around $20 billions, beating Wall Street expectations, as surging artificial intelligence spending drives growing demand for the company’s custom data center chips. At least 11 analysts have raised their price targets; the median target price among 45 brokerages covering the stock is $325, according to Reuters data. Full speed ahead: Morgan Stanley (rated “Neutral”, target price $300) said the company's long-term targets are achievable in a potential $3 trillion AI infrastructure spending environment, but cautioned that the projected 55%-70% growth leaves almost no room for execution errors, setting a high bar for quarterly results. JPMorgan (“Overweight”, target price $360) noted: "The company is operating at full speed, and the upgraded outlook is not limited to a single product category or customer, but is supported by multiple growth drivers across the data center full stack.” TD Cowen (“Buy”, target price $350) stated that Marvell’s underlying growth momentum has fully shifted to its robust connectivity business, and the risks associated with its custom XPU projects have substantially eased. Melius Research (“Buy”, target price $445) believes that Marvell's market capitalization could reach $1 trillion if the company executes as planned.
