CDS Signals AI Buildout Overheating

A rising credit‑default‑swap spread on a major AI investor is an early, measurable market signal that large‑scale AI spending and associated real‑estate/construction financing may be overleveraging firms and their partners. Tracking CDS moves on cloud, chip and data‑center tenants can reveal overheating before earnings or employment data do. — If CDS moves become a public early‑warning metric for AI‑driven overinvestment, regulators, energy planners, and local permitting authorities could use them to coordinate disclosure, oversight, and contingency planning.
