Despite rising Treasury yields, stock indexes including the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have climbed toward or to record levels, driven largely by a handful of AI-linked companies such as Nvidia, Microsoft and Meta. On Monday, the Nasdaq rose about 1% and the S&P 500 gained 0.66%, even as the 10-year Treasury yield rose above 5.34% and the 30-year approached 5.7%. Analysts and investors note that demand for AI infrastructure and computing capacity remains strong enough to offset concerns about higher borrowing costs. Some fund managers and pension funds are reportedly diversifying portfolios, citing concerns about concentration risk and “stretched” valuations in AI-related equities. Economists say continued AI investment is also contributing to inflation, complicating the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions.
