Zhito Finance APP has learned that as AI infrastructure buildout continues to drive growth in financing demand, major Wall Street banks are preparing to extend a months-long debt issuance boom. Barclays expects the six largest U.S. banks to raise about $41 billion through the bond market in the fourth quarter, 30% higher than the average issuance size for the fourth quarter since 2015, reflecting that the AI investment boom is not only driving tech companies to raise large amounts of financing, but also boosting banks' own funding needs.
