AI-driven CapEx surges hit bond markets and tech buybacks, fueling Fed inflation concerns.

Hyperscalers are significantly increasing capital expenditures (CapEx) due to AI buildout, with spending expected to reach around $1.2 trillion annually by 2028. This surge is impacting bond markets and reducing big tech stock buybacks. The Federal Reserve views this rising AI-related CapEx as a factor in persistent inflation, but rate hikes may not effectively slow hyperscaler investments or weaken strong labor markets. Companies like Alphabet remain financially strong, funding CapEx through growing cloud revenues and large backlogs.

As of Oct 14, 2026 18:51 WIB, Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL) trades at USD 358.39 on Pluang, showing a 1-day gain of 1.30%. The stock holds a market cap of $4.30 trillion and an enterprise value of $4.19 trillion, with balanced order activity split evenly between buyers and sellers. This strong market presence contrasts with the broader concerns about AI-driven capital expenditures affecting bond markets and tech buybacks.
