What was said

"There is a passive part of the high-yield index that could get unlocked and buy some of this debt. So this actually be a massively bullish tailwind. Because if they recategorize part of the high-yield market to buy debt, about $80 billion of passive flows could come in and buy hyperscaler debt."

A host cited JP Morgan research revealing that if hyperscaler debt gets recategorized within the high-yield index, approximately $80 billion in passive investment flows could be unlocked to purchase this debt. The host noted this development has not been widely discussed but could provide a massive tailwind for AI infrastructure financing for years to come.
