The U.S. Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 3.75-4.00%, marking the first increase in three years.

Big Tech companies, which have aggressively invested in AI infrastructure, are facing mounting capital-raising burdens due to rising rates.

Average annual AI investment is around $1 trillion, while revenue from AI services stands at about $200 billion, creating a significant funding gap of $800 billion.

Despite the pressure from rising rates, Big Tech companies are expanding their investment plans, driven by high cloud profitability. Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud posted second-quarter operating margins of 39.4% and 35.6%, respectively.
