On October 17th, according to the Financial Times, Anthropic is offering Blackstone Group a yield exceeding 10% to raise funds to support its latest chip deal. This $60 billion debt financing program, dubbed "Project North Star," will help Anthropic procure approximately 1.5 gigawatts of custom semiconductors, or TPUs, developed by Google. It is expected to be the largest chip financing deal to date and a key test of investor demand for AI-related debt. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Blackstones funds will invest $9 billion to purchase debt backed by Anthropics chip lease payments over the next five years, representing half of its approximately $18 billion in subprime loans. Blackstone has received a coupon rate offer of 10%, and the total yield will be even higher after accounting for new debt issuance discounts and other fees. According to the Intercontinental Exchanges Bank of America BB-rated U.S. High Yield Bond Index, borrowers with similar credit profiles typically pay around 7% yields when financing in the public bond market.According to the Financial Times, Anthropic offered Blackstone Group a double-digit yield in its latest chip financing deal.In an executive order, U.S. President Trump stated that he would waive certain sanctions, restrictions, and tariffs applicable under the Graham Act on sanctions against Russia and Iran, effective immediately.On October 17th, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on the 16th that, in response to attacks by Ukrainian authorities on Russian industrial enterprises and fuel and energy complexes, the Russian armed forces continue to strike Ukrainian military-industrial complexes and related facilities.

The EUR/GBP pair is fluctuating in a narrow range between 0.8366 and 0.8380 in the early Tokyo session. The asset saw a robust buying response on Friday after hitting a fresh three-month low of 0.8346 on Thursday. A buying response often indicates that traders perceived the asset as a value bet and built up sizeable long holdings. On the downside, the cross is displaying indications of fatigue, and a rebound is anticipated close to the round-number resistance level of 0.8400.

 

During today's session, investors will pay close attention to data on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Eurozone. The market believes that annual economic estimates may drop from 5.4 percent to 3.4 percent. While the quarterly GDP will drop from 0.6 percent in the prior report to 0.2 percent. The shared currency's bullish indication can be destroyed by a repetition of the same event.

 

Consumer attitudes are negatively impacted by growing fears of an energy catastrophe in the eurozone. Natural gas consumption will undoubtedly rise as Winter draws near, which is marked by a rise in energy demand. The eurozone administration is looking for candidates who can fulfill the region's high energy demand, but the search will take some time.

 

Investor focus will shift to the Bank of England's interest rate announcement on the British front (BOE). Interest rates are anticipated to climb further under Governor Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England given that the inflation rate has reached 9.4% and doesn't appear to be nearing its peak. Pricing pressures in the UK are constantly increasing and may soon hit double digits.
