What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

International Monetary Fund Director Kristalina Georgieva spoke in Bangkok while CoreWeave CEO Jensen Huang defended the company's financial stability. During the IMF gathering, FED Chair Kevin Warsh did not comment on interest rates, leading traders to cut the odds of an October hike from 26% to 14%. Warsh instead highlighted a massive investment surge coming from artificial intelligence.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The lack of rate commentary from FED Chair Kevin Warsh led to a mild bear steepening in Treasuries and a rally in global bond markets. Meanwhile, the market reaction to CoreWeave's rescue and the emphasis on AI investment fueled higher US futures and increased demand for AI infrastructure.
