- Bloomberg reports that AI's capital "money loop" is drawing foreign cash inflows on par with those seen in 2008, while a second Bloomberg piece warns AI's debt binge risks crowding emerging-market nations out of global markets.
- Apollo's Torsten Slok warns the AI boom is triggering "Dutch Disease" dynamics in the US economy, and the Financial Times flags the "huge lurking leverage" of AI hyperscalers as a systemic concern.
Why it matters: Three independent outlets — Bloomberg, the Financial Times, and Apollo's chief economist — are flagging the same AI capex cycle as a source of macro risk. That convergence means the AI investment thesis now carries financial-stability implications for emerging-market borrowers and US currency dynamics, not just tech-sector concerns.
