Tatton Asset Management says fading AI optimism drives shift from stocks to bonds
Tatton Asset Management’s analysis linked the shift from stocks into government bonds primarily to weakening optimism about AI profit growth. Government bond yields fell sharply as expectations of a more hawkish Federal Reserve response to 3.7% US inflation dampened growth prospects. CoreWeave’s 5-year bond yield breached 15%, reaching distressed territory amid reports of slowing demand for AI computing power. A weaker dollar compounded US stock losses for UK investors, increasing the risk that prolonged currency volatility could prompt capital repatriation. Strong third-quarter earnings could ease AI concerns, though newly disclosed long-term lease obligations could expose greater debt burdens.
