The Federal Reserve's latest rate hike may be the most important near-term variable for the AI industry. According to Sina Finance, higher short- and medium-term borrowing costs are likely to curb the debt-driven AI boom, especially with the possibility of another rate hike later this year. The biggest hit from higher rates will likely fall on small companies with weak or no credit ratings that urgently need funding, including emerging cloud providers planning new cloud infrastructure and data center projects. Rum Group, for example, plans to build a large data center in Georgia to support a project with Anthropic, but the financing has not yet been secured. The ripple effects of higher rates will eventually reach all players, including major technology companies spending heavily to expand AI data centers. Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Google have already borrowed aggressively and gained some breathing room. On Monday, Amazon issued 4.2 billion pounds of bonds, or about $5.7 billion; combined with the $67 billion it raised in the first half of the year, its debt load has nearly doubled. Amazon's securities filing showed that most of this year's bonds are fixed-rate debt, meaning its interest expense will not rise even if rates increase. Google and Meta have also issued bonds to varying degrees. But at their current spending pace, they will still need to borrow again soon. Amazon's borrowing has been used to cover heavy capital spending and investments in Anthropic and OpenAI. As of June 30, the company's cash balance stood at $123 billion, roughly unchanged from December 31. After June 30, Amazon added another $21 billion to OpenAI, completing a $50 billion investment commitment. S&P Global Market Intelligence data showed analysts estimate Amazon will burn through $10 billion in cash in the second half of the year and another $43 billion in the first half of 2027. Large technology companies still have better financing conditions than smaller firms because of their high credit ratings, but the impact of the Fed's rate hike should not be underestimated.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she wanted to work on “opening the door” for Canada to become the EU’s first associate member, according to BBC. She told the European Parliament on Wednesday that closer ties could cover energy, critical minerals, batteries, AI, cyber and economic security, and said the proposal was “not a partnership against anyone else, but for our common strength.” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who attended the annual keynote speech in Strasbourg, last week spoke of seeking a “unique alliance” with the EU as relations with the US and Donald Trump remain tense. Von der Leyen also said the EU and Canada “see the world with the same eyes” on issues including AI, climate change, geopolitics, Ukraine, defence, raw materials and supply chains. She separately proposed a European Security Council that would include the UK and Ukraine.

Ripple said it has expanded its XRP Ledger developer kit to support the machine payment protocol and open wallet standard jointly developed by Stripe and Tempo. According to ChainCatcher, the XRPL AI Starter Kit 1.1 update adds support for these standards, allowing AI agents to pay for online services such as data and computing using tokens including XRP and RLUSD. RippleX product lead Jazzi Cooper said Ripple aims to make XRP and RLUSD the preferred payment options for developers building applications. The machine payment protocol lets AI agents pay on demand, with service providers quoting a price, agents authorizing payment, and resources delivered afterward. Ripple has also supported the x402 network payment standard since June. The open wallet standard allows agents to initiate transactions without accessing private keys and includes safeguards such as spending limits and whitelisted destinations. Ripple said XRP payment channels are suited to small, high-frequency payments, allowing agents to deposit XRP once, run hundreds of paid queries, and authorize small payments one by one while service providers collect cumulative funds without putting each query on-chain. Single payments already support tokens including RLUSD, but continuous payment sessions are limited to XRP, and adding stablecoins to the channel depends on a proposed ledger upgrade. The payment software remains in testing.

يعتمد مدى قدرة سوق الأسهم على تحمل رفع أسعار الفائدة مستقبلاً بشكل كبير على أسعار النفط. فإذا تحسنت الأوضاع في إيران وانخفضت أسعار النفط، سيظل هناك رأس مال كبير ينتظر دخول السوق، وسيكون رفع أسعار الفائدة إجراءً احترازياً. أما إذا بقيت أسعار النفط مرتفعة، فسيتأثر معنويات السوق حتماً.
