US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday downplayed concerns about AI infrastructure financing. He said that the yields on some AI-related debt surging to double digits is "not a problem at all," because new cloud service providers account for only a small portion of the entire ecosystem. The report noted that the yield on CoreWeave bonds, which are at the center of the concerns, at one point climbed to around 15%, and its stock price has fallen about 25% over the past month. Bessent also said he would not regard any future Federal Reserve rate hike as a policy mistake.
