What happened
France is facing a sovereign debt crisis, and European credit markets are showing cracks. CoreWeave is experiencing slowing LLM revenue growth, with its Return on Invested Capital being 8.9% below its cost of borrowing. Concurrently, the cost of buying default insurance on Nvidia debt has reached a record high, with credit default swaps on AI giants soaring from under $2 billion in July to over $9 billion in September.
Why it matters
The French crisis could expose how fragile the entire financing machine has become, especially as the AI boom requires trillions in infrastructure commitments. Rising bond yields and lenders pulling back could accelerate an 'AI reckoning' faster than expected.
