The sale of AI shares returned investors to the US government debt

U.S. government bonds are once again attracting investors as a protective asset amid a sell-off in tech stocks. As Bloomberg reports, doubts about the sustainability of the artificial intelligence boom force market participants to reconsider investments.

The yield on ten-year Treasury bonds is declining at the same time as the technology index. Such dynamics indicates an increase in demand for debt securities with a drop in interest in technology sector stocks.

The reason for concern were signs of slowing revenue growth Anthropic and lower prices for debt securities cloud provider CoreWeave. According to the agency, these signals increase questions about the value of AI-related companies and the prospects for their further growth.

At the same time, the amount of $1.7 trillion specified in the original retelling refers to the placement of corporate bonds by investment-grade companies, among which the leading role was played by technology giants. This is 29% more than a year earlier. We are talking about raising funds by business, not about the sale of American public debt by investment companies.
