AI concerns raise bond yields to 17-month high

Financial markets are dominated by concerns over the increasing massive debts of artificial intelligence companies, as firms worldwide have borrowed over $450 billion since the beginning of the year to fund their investments in this sector. The growing fears that these investments may not generate profits have led to a decline in demand for AI company stocks and an increase in yields on high-rated corporate bonds, amid escalating geopolitical tensions. Conversely, U.S. and Japanese Treasury bonds have seen rising demand as safe-haven assets, with U.S. Treasury bond yields for 10-year maturities falling to 5.076%. Analyses indicate that credit risks are rising, with wider corporate bond spreads—the broadest since May 2025—reflecting a deterioration in investors’ risk appetite amid economic pressures and global tensions.
