AI-related corporate credit boom cited as competing with government bonds for yield
Asset managers flag the 10-year near ~5.25% as attractive for buyers, but warn that projected multi-trillion AI infrastructure spending is pulling credit demand away from sovereign debt — keeping the long end elevated even when equities print records.
Market response
SPY and QQQ hold gains; 10Y ticks lower intraday but remains near multi-year highs.
