Oct 27 (Reuters) - Wall Street expects Amazon, Microsoft and ⁠Alphabet to report on Wednesday faster growth in their cloud businesses, but a turbulent market selloff and concerns over rising costs of AI financing are ⁠tempering optimism.

Investors are pressing for evidence that the AI boom can deliver swift returns to justify its enormous price tag. Rising bond yields ‌at AI cloud providers such as CoreWeave and record costs to insure Meta Platform's debt have amplified concerns about how the massive AI infrastructure buildout is being funded, particularly as higher US interest rates loom.

10 月 27 日（路透社）——华尔街预计亚马逊、微软和 Alphabet 将于周三公布其云业务增长加速，但动荡的市场抛售和对人工智能融资成本上升的担忧抑制了乐观情绪。

投资者迫切希望看到人工智能热潮能够带来快速回报的证据，以证明其巨额投资的合理性。CoreWeave等人工智能云服务提供商的债券收益率不断攀升，以及Meta Platform债务保险成本创历史新高，加剧了人们对大规模人工智能基础设施建设资金来源的担忧，尤其是在美国利率即将走高的情况下。
