Nvidia just lined up $500 billion in Wall Street financing to fuel the AI chip boom.
Jensen Huang unveiled a plan to marshal $500 billion in debt — backed by Goldman, Blackstone, Apollo, KKR, BlackRock and Brookfield — so AI customers like Anthropic and OpenAI can keep buying Nvidia chips, with Nvidia itself backstopping up to a quarter of the deals. We lay out both readings: a powerful flywheel that locks in demand, or circular financing that inflates an AI bubble.
That connects directly to Anthropic's looming IPO, which could be one of the largest ever — reportedly valued off a projected $190 to $200 billion in 2028 revenue, roughly four times its current run rate. When a company is priced on numbers years into the future, we walk through what actually has to go right.
Then the reality checks: Wednesday's Fed minutes, with rates at multiyear highs and the market unsure whether the next move is a cut or a hike, and Thursday's Walmart results — the clearest read yet on whether the real consumer can support record-high stocks.
