1. U.S. 30-year debt sale draws highest yield in 25 years
-- The Treasury sold 30-year bonds at the highest auction yield in a quarter-century, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
-- Expensive long-term funding increases federal interest costs and can tighten financing conditions for mortgages, infrastructure and other duration-sensitive assets.
2. Chicago mayor seeks temporary data-center moratorium
-- Mayor Brandon Johnson is pushing to pause new data centers and signed an executive order Tuesday establishing a review of the sector, according to Bloomberg.
-- A halt in a major U.S. market would redirect capacity investment while cities weigh grid demand, water use and tax incentives against construction and technology jobs.
3. AMD raises $4.75 billion in largest dollar bond sale
-- AMD raised $4.75 billion through its biggest-ever U.S. dollar bond offering as the chipmaker expands to meet artificial-intelligence demand, Bloomberg reported.
-- The deal adds to technology-sector borrowing and tests whether credit markets can absorb the capital intensity of the AI buildout without materially widening spreads.
4. Justice Department finds systemic sexual-abuse failures in California women's prisons
-- Federal investigators found reasonable cause to believe California's corrections system violated the Constitution by failing to protect women at two prisons from sexual abuse by staff.
-- The finding exposes the state to court-enforced reforms and increases scrutiny of reporting, supervision and accountability inside closed institutions.
5. IREN completes first 50-megawatt Microsoft AI deployment
-- IREN delivered the first 50 megawatts of its contracted AI cloud capacity for Microsoft at its Childress, Texas, campus, Blockspace Media reported.
-- The milestone shows how power and data-center infrastructure built by Bitcoin miners is being repurposed for AI workloads, diversifying revenue while intensifying competition for electricity and computing hardware.
