Citadel said the Federal Reserve's current policy path is helping keep long-dated U.S. Treasury yields at multi-decade highs, a backdrop it warned could create broader market risks. The firm said the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield briefly rose to 5.28%, the highest level in 19 years, even as recent inflation and employment data cooled, suggesting investors remain alert to persistent long-term inflation pressure and fiscal risks. Citadel added that inflation has not fully faded and that considerable uncertainty still surrounds the Fed's next policy decision, leaving the interest-rate path a key driver for asset prices. In artificial intelligence, the firm said it prefers cloud infrastructure and large cloud computing companies to frontier AI model developers, favoring hyperscalers (very large cloud providers) with computing-power advantages such as Microsoft and Alphabet.
