Alphabet is driving a bond-market boom as it borrows heavily to fund unprecedented investments tied to its artificial intelligence ambitions, including an offering with a 100‑year maturity, a report dated 10 February 2026 says. The planned century‑long bond highlights the scale and duration of the company’s financing push.
According to the report, investor demand for Alphabet’s debt is stronger than ever, allowing the company to tap markets on terms rarely seen for corporate issuers. The issuance is intended to help bankroll the firm’s long‑term AI projects and related capital spending.
The move underscores how major tech firms are using the debt markets to secure long‑term funding for strategic investments, and it highlights robust appetite among investors for corporate bonds from blue‑chip issuers. #Alphabet #GOOGL #bonds #AI #FiatNews

The figures cover overall export and import price levels rather than individual sectors.\n\nThe release provides an updated view of external price trends as of the end of 2025 and may influence assessments of trade-related inflation pressures. #CzechRepublic #exports #imports #producerprices #FiatNews

The International Monetary Fund, in its February 2026 assessment of the Czech economy, recommends that the Czech National Bank (ČNB) reduce the unusually high volume of foreign-exchange reserves it currently holds. The IMF frames the recommendation as part of its broader evaluation of domestic macroeconomic settings.
Those reserves are largely a legacy of the ČNB’s exchange-rate commitment from 2013–2017, when the central bank intervened by purchasing foreign currency to deliberately weaken the koruna. The interventions left the central bank with an elevated stock of foreign assets.
The IMF’s call rekindles debate about the timing and approach to adjusting reserve holdings accumulated during the 2013–2017 interventions. Any decision on reducing reserves would concern central-bank asset management and monetary-policy calibration. #IMF #CNB #CZK #FiatNews

On Feb. 10, 2026, observers noted a growing divergence within equities: software companies are undergoing a noticeably deeper correction while much of the rest of the market has held up relatively well. Yahoo Finance highlighted the split, and Emily Roland of Manulife John Hancock Investments discussed investor deliberations about whether to buy at prices lowered by the correction.
Roland framed the debate around timing and selectivity, saying investors are weighing whether current price reductions offer attractive entry points. The commentary emphasized that the correction has been uneven across sectors, with software hit harder than many other areas of the market.
Market participants will likely assess fundamentals and risk tolerance before committing capital, focusing on individual company outlooks rather than treating the pullback as uniform across equities. #stocks #software #Manulife #FiatNews
