THE BANKS THAT FUNDED THE AI BOOM ARE NOW LOOKING FOR EXIT.
Some of Wall Street's biggest banks are now trying to get rid of billions of dollars in AI-related debt.
JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, SMBC, and MUFG are reportedly looking to reduce their exposure to AI data center loans.
And what's happening with Oracle is even more worrying.
Banks have spent over 6 months trying to sell $38 BILLION in debt tied to Oracle data centers.
Some lenders are now even willing to sell parts of these loans at a discount.
Meanwhile, Oracle's credit rating is just one step above junk, and the cost of insuring against its default has jumped sharply.
This is happening while tech companies are still spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure.
If banks become less willing to lend, AI companies could find it much harder and more expensive to fund new projects.
And if AI spending starts slowing down, it could become a serious problem for the stock market, which has been relying heavily on the AI boom.
