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.

Stocks Decline Pre-Bell Ahead of Fed Meeting Minutes
07:49 AM EDT, 10/07/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The main US stock measures pointed lower in Wednesday's premarket activity as traders await minutes from the Federal Reserve's last policy meeting. The S&P 500 edged down 0.1%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.3%, and the Nasdaq 100 was off 0.4%. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite finished Tuesday trading with record highs, while the Dow extended its rally for a fourth consecutive session. The Fed is scheduled to post minutes of its September policy meeting at 2 pm ET, which will be assessed for fresh insight on the central bank's monetary policy trajectory. At that meeting, the central bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points, its first hike in just over three years, to combat inflation that has run persistently above its 2% target. Markets are currently pricing in an 81% probability that the central bank will keep its benchmark rate steady later this month, with the remaining odds in favor of a 25-basis-point hike, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Treasury yields were trending upwards early Wednesday, with the two-year rate rising 1.7 basis points to 4.81% and the 10-year rate adding 5.5 basis points to 5.33%.
