US 30-year yield: 5.356%.
Back in the zone seen before the 2008 financial crisis.
Now the Fed is considering two more hikes on top of that.
Government debt needs refinancing. The AI buildout needs its next round of funding.
Every extra 0.50 percentage point costs $5 billion annually on $1 trillion of new borrowing.
Interest gets paid first. Data centers get built second.
The chain from here is simple:
More expensive funding → delayed AI projects → fewer chip orders → earnings cuts → S&P 500 pressure
The weakest borrowers break first. Their suppliers break next.
That is the credit risk nobody is pricing into the AI trade.
2008 showed how fast a boom collapses when financing stops working.
Most traders still believe the Fed will pause before any real damage hits.
They are wrong.
Renewed tightening forces a reversal before inflation reaches 2%. Investment and jobs crack before the target gets hit.
The red arrow is the move I'm watching as growth weakens and long yields roll over.
By the time rate cuts arrive, the damage is already done.
First the credit squeeze. Then the policy reversal. Then the earnings misses.
