Investments in the AI sector could lead to restrictions on financing for technology projects. AI debts, which have grown significantly due to the boom in AI, are now receiving more attention from investors. This has led to a more cautious approach to credit ratings, with the ICE BofA US Corporate Index showing a rise to 348 basis points in November before.

This figure was surpassed just a few weeks earlier when President Trump imposed maximum import tariffs. American politicians are preparing a series of laws to limit investment in the AI sector. The attention of the market on credit reserves has increased, with investors hesitating to grant credit to AI projects.

The cause of this change is mainly due to the economic policy of Trump, which has led to a situation of 'more cautious and discriminatory appetite'. Credit analysis has been influenced by a more critical approach towards AI technology, with a network of political and regulatory controls referring to the development and production of central data. Investments in data centers, which have been focused primarily on BB and single-B debt classes, have faced significant pressure during the market negotiation shift.

Single-B debits prices have risen by 35 basis points, reaching higher levels than March, while credit rating quotes have climbed up to 13 basis points, surpassing the 9.875 basis points offered when Galaxy Digital sold the single-B debits. Peter Yanulis, multi-asset portfolio manager at Loomis Sayles, has highlighted the impact of political restrictions on these sectors: 'A slowdown in the boom of AI that will have secondary effects on energy production, energy suppliers, energy contractors, etc., will be secondary consequences for the markets.' President Trump declared that no mandatory rules would be written regarding AI technology, but the Democratic Party representatives are preparing a series of laws to limit investment in the AI sector. American economic policy has become a crucial element in managing AI debts, but it also poses uncertainty for investors and financiers.
