S&P Global warns that the $635 billion AI investments by major tech companies may face challenges due to rising energy costs amid Middle East conflicts.

Data center capital expenditure reached $770 billion in 2025, surpassing investments in upstream oil and gas activities, with AI-driven growth boosting demand for power and energy equipment worldwide.
A report by Citrini Research highlighted concerns over the impact of massive AI investments by tech giants, contributing to a significant market selloff.
