U.S. Treasuries rallied in the week through Oct. 30 as a sharp pullback in AI-linked tech shares and wider corporate credit spreads drove safe-haven demand. Intel (INTC) slipped on soft Q4 guidance and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) missed Q3 expectations, while the cost of insuring tech giants' debt against default hit record highs. The 10-year Treasury yield stayed below 5.00% for a second straight week, the 30-year was largely unchanged at 5.31%, and the 10-year/2-year spread rose 3 basis points to 0.33%. Companies have borrowed nearly $500 billion this year for AI projects, versus about $200 billion in all of 2025, and Oracle plans to cap upcoming capital infusions at $20 billion over the next few years.

- Stocktwits Weekly Spread: What Shaped Treasury Yields And The Dollar This Week
U.S. government bonds rallied sharply in the week ending October 23 as AI tech stocks retreated and corporate credit risks rose, prompting a flight to quality. Gartner warned that AI data center owners could face up to $4 trillion in asset write-down risk by 2032 if hyperscaler revenue fails to cover heavy capital expenditure. The 10-year Treasury yield fell back below 5.00% for the first time in several weeks, the 30-year yield dropped 10 basis points to 5.32%, and the 10-year to 2-year spread narrowed to 0.31% from 0.37%. Credit default swap prices on neocloud providers and AI hardware builders surged, pushing CoreWeave (CRWV) down about 12% for its third straight weekly decline, while the Dollar Spot Index slipped 0.2% this week.
- BofA flags further downside risk for stocks, yields and dollar
BofA strategists led by Michael Hartnett remain 'tactically risk-off' until mid-November, expecting stocks, Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar to fall further, with 30-year yields drifting toward 5% and the dollar index dipping below 100. The selloff is expected to continue until a Democratic midterm sweep is fully priced in, the ECB and French government halt the rout in French bonds, and an AI capex cut or extreme equity issuance marks a peak in hyperscaler debt spreads. The near-term risk is hyperscaler bond spreads surging above 200 basis points, which could force deleveraging in shadow-banking credit. The strategists say investor conviction in an AI bubble or a broadening Goldilocks rally for 2027 is too high, while fear of a hard landing is too low.

- Elon Musk 'Trolls' Binance Hack, CEO CZ Bluntly Says: 'I Deeply Respect You, Please Stop'
Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) asked Elon Musk on October 30 to stop 'trolling' the exchange after Musk posted emojis that appeared to mock the cyberattack that hit Binance for 6.3 billion USD late on October 29. CZ pointed out that Binance's SpaceX stake, which stems from its 500 million USD investment in Musk's Twitter acquisition, is now worth over 1 billion USD, a small fraction of SpaceX's valuation of about 2,000 billion USD. The feud is not new: in 2021 Musk called Binance's temporary suspension of Dogecoin withdrawals 'shady', and CZ responded by citing Tesla's recall of nearly 12,000 vehicles in the US.
