AI financing is driving a bond‑stock market paradox that echoes past bubbles

The divergence challenges conventional benchmarks and may lead to mispricing across fixed‑income and equity assets, affecting portfolio risk.
Who is involved: Investors, AI‑focused companies, bond markets, and financial analysts.
Likely next: Continued market volatility as participants reassess the sustainability of AI‑driven financing and its impact on traditional asset classes.
