The AI boom just got a price tag, and it's a big one: two hundred and thirty billion dollars. That's Broadcom's new forecast for its own AI revenue by 2028, and it completely reframes the market narrative.

This confirms what we've seen from Dell's server sales and Nvidia's dominance. This isn't a software story anymore; it's a hardware story, and the numbers are staggering. The entire sector is moving on this — Nvidia closed up over three percent in yesterday's session.

My read is the market is shifting from a story about code to a story about capital. The question has shifted from 'what can AI do?' to 'who can afford to build it?' This is a massively capital-intensive industrial buildout, and the value is accruing to the picks and shovels.

But here's the tension: this AI boom needs funding, and the bond market is getting nervous. The ten-year yield is now at 4.79 percent. I'm tracking this collision between AI capex and the rising cost of capital on korra dot finance. If the ten-year yield keeps pushing higher, it's the single biggest threat to the entire AI roadmap.
