The Sustainability of AI-powered Gains

Wall Street is becoming increasingly selective about AI investment, with Amazon's soaring cloud revenue overshadowed by mounting cash outflows, raising questions about whether technology giants can justify their enormous spending. Tim Mulholland, President of TJM Limited, examines how investors are assessing AI returns alongside resilient US growth, persistent inflation and the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook.

Hyperscaler Bonds: Opportunity or AI Risk?

Anthropic's IPO filing has revived enthusiasm for AI stocks, but its enormous losses and reliance on a handful of major customers are raising fresh questions about valuations and the sustainability of the investment boom. Meanwhile, Wall Street faces key US growth and inflation data as high borrowing costs weigh on housing, oil prices exceed US$110 and gold retreats despite geopolitical uncertainty. We examine whether corporate investment can sustain the US economy as consumers grow more cautious, and how the approaching midterm elections could reshape expectations for fiscal policy, government spending and financial markets.
