PIMCO says AI capex is lifting real yields, not crowding out Treasuries

PIMCO said the AI bond boom has encouraged a misleading market narrative, arguing that the mechanism is instead the saving-investment channel: a large investment cycle absorbs labour, power, equipment and construction capacity unless saving rises enough to offset it.

PIMCO said unanticipated AI debt deals leave little statistically significant footprint in 10-year yields, term premia or swap spreads, and that equilibrium real rates move higher when desired investment rises faster than desired saving.
