TREE NEWS reports: Capital Economics economist James Reilly said the recent US Treasury selloff reflects shifting rate expectations, higher oil prices and US economic strength rather than AI-related debt issuance or fiscal concerns, with the 10-year yield near its June 2007 high. He expects the 10-year yield to fall sharply to 4.25% by the end of 2027 as Fed tightening proves milder than investors now expect, arguing AI-related issuance will add less upward pressure than media reports suggest.
Capital Economics: AI Debt Issuance Has Limited Impact on US Treasury Yields, 10-Year Yield Seen at 4.25% by End-2027
AI take
The notable claim here is attribution: Capital Economics pins the selloff on rate expectations, oil and growth rather than AI capex borrowing, which cuts against the popular narrative that data-center financing is crowding out Treasuries. If that framing holds, the AI buildout is a sector story, not a macro rates driver, and the fiscal angle loses its headline. The open question is whether the forecasted retreat in yields materializes if Fed tightening proves milder than priced — that hinges on inflation and oil, not on AI issuance.
