AI Miners Surge Pre-Market on Record $38B Oracle Data Center Deal Boosts Sector
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High Performance Computer (HPC) mining stocks are rallying pre-market following news of the largest AI infrastructure financing on record, according to Bloomberg.
Cipher Mining (CIFR) and IREN (IREN) are both up 7%, while Bitfarms (BITF) has jumped 12%, as investors rotate back into AI-exposed assets after a recent correction. The rebound comes as banks prepare a $38 billion debt sale to fund two major data centers tied to Oracle Corp (ORCL), in what would be the biggest financing ever for AI infrastructure.
The debt is split into two senior secured credit facilities: $23.25 billion for a Texas project and $14.75 billion for a Wisconsin site, both being developed by Vantage Data Centers for Oracle’s partnership with OpenAI under the Stargate initiative.
The loans will mature in four years, with two one-year extension options, and are expected to price about 2.5% points above the benchmark, according to the article.
Oracle’s broader plan includes up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure investment, underscoring its ambitions in cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

October Non-farm Payrolls Reignite December Rate Hike Expectations! Wall Street Bets Probability Over 80%, "New Fed News Agency": AI Sell-off May Become a Policy Variable
After the non-farm payroll report, traders' bets on a December rate hike surged to as high as 85%. Wall Street analysts believe the report provides room for further rate hikes, bringing renewed pressure for a hike at a time when post-election market concerns over slowing AI development might dampen expectations. Some remain cautious about a December hike, as stock market volatility and AI investment prospects could restrain the Federal Reserve. "New Fed News Agency" notes the report has not shaken the Fed's outlook on economic growth and inflation, but whether AI asset sell-offs change financial conditions could become a new variable for the December decision. Attention should be paid to whether Waller values lagging employment data or forward-looking market signals.
