Bond market repricing could start to matter; AI capex key factor to watch out for equities: Neeraj Seth
CNBC-TV18 1 hr ago·1 Oct 2026, 7:13 am
Analysts say the bond market is beginning to re‑price after a long period of low yields, driven by expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes and a shift in inflation outlook. Higher yields raise borrowing costs for companies and can push equity valuations lower, making the fixed‑income space more attractive for some investors.
At the same time, Neerja Seth points out that the rapid surge in artificial‑intelligence capital spending that boosted many tech stocks is now slowing. A slowdown in AI capex could temper earnings growth expectations for firms that rely on AI‑driven products and services, adding another headwind for equities.
Investors will be watching the Fed’s policy signals, movements in the 10‑year Treasury yield and any data on corporate AI investment plans. Changes in any of these areas could influence the balance between bonds and stocks in the coming months.
