What happened
Six major AI companies, including Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, and Nvidia, issued approximately $320 billion in debt in 2026, absorbing 68% of new long-duration U.S. Treasury borrowing this year, according to JPMorgan analysis. Higher U.S. Treasury yields, with the 10-year benchmark above 5%, have increased borrowing costs across financial markets. Amazon recently raised £4.25 billion in London, doubling its long-term debt to $119 billion.

Why it matters
Tech giants are driving massive bond issuance to fund their AI infrastructure buildout. The rising cost of debt, driven by higher Treasury yields, could put pressure on the earnings, cash flow, and investment plans of companies, particularly those with weaker balance sheets. Goldman Sachs projects that hyperscaler issuance will reach $340 billion in 2027.
