To what extent is the rise in long dated rates attributable to ai

长端利率的上升在多大程度上可归因于人工智能？
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
ING estimates AI explains about 20% of the rise in long-dated US rates: 70% of that via productivity, 25% via issuance, 5% via spending. Higher long-end issuance pressure comes mainly from TMT corporates, with a $75bn swing in long-dated corporate versus Treasury supply. ING judges inflation (50%) and fiscal deficit narrative (30%) as larger drivers. The 10yr nominal yield is 5.2% versus over 6% in 2000.

Key arguments
- AI's total contribution to higher long-dated rates is judged at only about 20%.
- Within AI, productivity is the dominant channel (70%), while net issuance adds 25% and spending just 5%.
- Long-dated supply pressure is skewed toward corporates: TMT issuance tripled to $330bn, corporate long-end issuance up $55bn versus $20bn more Treasury buybacks.
- Inflation and the fiscal deficit narrative matter more, at 50% and 30% respectively, though Treasury issuance and the cash deficit are no higher than last year.

Main risks
- The 20% AI attribution is explicitly a judgement call, not a purely quantitative result.
- Issuance pressure could persist: TMT issuance is expected to remain elevated into 2027 and beyond as investment approaches $1 trillion.
- Sticky upside inflation through 2026 could keep long-end yields elevated even if AI issuance slows.
