Wall Street: Trump droht Iran, Ölpreise und Anleiherenditen ziehen wieder an

Steigende Energiepreise, Inflationsrisiken und hohe Finanzierungskosten belasten die US-Börsen. Gleichzeitig läuft der KI-Investitionsboom weiter.

Wall Street: Trump droht Iran, Ölpreise und Anleiherenditen ziehen wieder an

Wall Street is once again facing pressure due to a new escalation involving Iran. US President Donald Trump has stated that a deal with Tehran is currently not a priority, while the Pentagon is preparing options for potential larger military strikes. Brent crude oil prices have risen to around 105 US dollars, and the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds is nearing its highest level since 2002 at 5.35 percent.

This combination of rising energy prices, inflation risks, and high financing costs continues to dominate Wall Street's concerns for weeks. Meanwhile, the AI investment boom remains active. Taiwan Semiconductor reported a 50 percent sales increase in the third quarter, while Samsung Electronics recorded a significant profit jump, although preliminary figures slightly fall short of high expectations.

Notably, increasing debt levels are also becoming evident in financing AI expansion: OpenAI, Oracle, and SpaceX are working on billion-dollar financing for chips and data centers. Goldman Sachs has rated Palantir as a "Buy" with a price target of 230 US dollars.
