Pimco Navigates AI Debt Volatility, Cashing Out Before Market Correction

Pimco, the world's largest independent bond investor, engineered one of the most consequential moves in the AI infrastructure financing boom of 2025—anchoring record-breaking debt packages for data centers, then cutting exposure just as the market turned.
