About this market
Major central bank warnings have intensified scrutiny of AI infrastructure spending, with the Bank for International Settlements highlighting hyperscaler capital expenditures exceeding $1 trillion across 2025–2026 as reminiscent of prior technology manias. This capex surge, funded partly through rising debt issuance amid uncertain returns on large language models, has coincided with semiconductor index corrections and growing adoption of lower-cost Chinese alternatives that are capturing larger usage shares on benchmarks. Persistent supply constraints around power and chips add downside risks, while strong token-processing growth and planned IPO filings from leading labs represent countervailing adoption signals. Traders are watching upcoming earnings for evidence of monetization and any shifts in forward guidance on data-center buildouts.
