On October 16, the US dollar and Treasury yields took a dip, fueled by worries about whether the debt-funded AI investment craze could keep going strong. Jefferies economist Mohit Kumar pointed out in a report that over the next three years, the US is gearing up to pour 2.5% to 3% of its GDP into capital expenditures and AI infrastructure projects. This level of investment far outstrips any previous infrastructure push in the nation's history. He also raised a red flag, cautioning that if the pace of AI infrastructure development were to slacken, it could send shockwaves through related companies and the broader US economy.
