  • Oracle's Credit Default Risk Indicator (CDS) Soars to Historic Highs

    On July 19, Oracle's credit risk indicator reached an all-time high, reflecting deep market concerns about the sustainability of the AI investment boom. According to ICE Data Services, Oracle's credit default swap (CDS) spread rose by approximately 10 basis points to 198.23 on Friday, marking a historic closing record that surpassed the previous peak of 198.18 set on March 27. This indicates that the cost for investors to protect Oracle's debt from default has risen to unprecedented levels. Oracle has about $117 billion in bonds within the Bloomberg U.S. Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Index, making it the largest company outside the financial sector in that index. Meanwhile, the release of the new AI model Kimi K3 has raised concerns about the competitiveness of existing AI products, putting overall pressure on tech stocks. The combination of these signals has further deepened market doubts regarding Oracle's aggressive capital expenditure strategy and the prospects for returns on its AI investments.

  • Kimi K3 Impacts Anthropic Valuation Expectations

    On July 19, the probability of Anthropic reaching a valuation of $1.5 trillion by the end of the year significantly decreased on the prediction market Polymarket. This change was linked to the release of Kimi K3, which has impacted the valuation expectations for Anthropic. On July 17, traders estimated the probability of Anthropic achieving a $1.5 trillion valuation within the year at about 77%; by July 18, this figure dropped to 67%, a decline of approximately 10 to 11 percentage points in just one day. The shift in market sentiment occurred following the release of Kimi K3. It is important to note that the decline reflects the contract prices in the prediction market, not an actual reduction in Anthropic's valuation by 11%. The contract bets on whether Anthropic's valuation can reach or exceed $1.5 trillion by December 31, 2026, and the probability change only reflects the expectations of participating traders regarding this target. Anthropic's most recent public financing occurred on May 28, completing a $65 billion Series H round, resulting in a post-money valuation of $965 billion. To reach the $1.5 trillion target set by the Polymarket contract, its valuation would need to increase by $535 billion, a rise of over 55%.
