Nvidia taps Wall Street to fund the AI infrastructure era

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a plan with Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Blackstone, KKR, Apollo and Brookfield to raise as much as $500 billion to finance AI infrastructure, treating AI data centers as revenue-generating, long-lived assets. Wall Street would fund the build-out via asset-based financing, with Nvidia potentially backstopping 25% of loans and connecting borrowers to financing partners; details on borrowers, rates, and timelines remain unclear. The move signals a shift from balance-sheet funding to securitized, asset-backed finance for AI as trillion-dollar global investments are anticipated, though experts warn of potential overreach and market pullbacks.

Iran tightens grip as protests loom and regional tensions rise

Iran is expected to intensify security around upcoming protest dates—especially the end of the 40‑day mourning on February 17 and Nowruz on March 20—while internet shutdowns continue to curb dissent and cost the economy, potentially straining security forces. The regime is worrying about Kurdish militancy in the northwest and has reportedly mobilized border security, with Iraqi militias possibly deployed to Iran to aid crackdowns. A January 16 protest in Zahedan signaled ongoing dissent, though demonstrations have yet to broaden nationwide. In Syria, the Assad regime began a limited Deir Hafer operation against SDF-held territory east of Aleppo, and Damascus issued a decree recognizing Kurdish rights and Nowruz, aimed at pushing toward negotiations with the SDF; the US is pushing for de-escalation. Overall, Iran faces heightened securitization with regional spillovers and rising political risk.

Rising Consumer Defaults Drive China Banks to Increase Bad Loan Sales

Rising Consumer Defaults Drive China Banks to Increase Bad Loan Sales

Chinese banks are increasing the sale of bad loans at a record pace as regulators push for faster disposal of sour debts amid rising consumer defaults during an ailing post-COVID economic recovery. The issuance of securities backed by non-performing loans (NPLs) is set to jump about 40% from last year to a record high. This week alone, six banks plan to issue $210.49 million worth of asset-backed securities (ABS) based on bad loans. Chinese authorities have blacklisted 8.57 million people who missed payments, up 50% from the beginning of 2020. The booming market for bad loans highlights the challenges facing China's banking sector as it grapples with a real estate crisis, local government debt woes, and rising individual delinquencies.
