Why it matters
Higher rates could curtail borrowing and spending, raising costs for companies that rely on debt markets. This trend is impacting the economics of the AI buildout, as insatiable demand for capital from AI builders and governments is simultaneously pushing rates up.
The AI boom is driving rallies in the Korean market, while Donald Trump seeks agricultural support amid global economic risks and central bank policy shifts.
