Broadcom is in talks with a group of lenders to raise more than $60 billion in debt for an AI chip financing deal that will benefit Anthropic and other companies, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The financing, which is still being ironed out, may also include a roughly $30 billion junior debt tranche, said some of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. Under the proposed plan, Broadcom would guarantee a portion of the senior-secured tranche, which could range from about $60 billion to $70 billion, some of the people said. The numbers under discussion would potentially bring the total to as much as $100 billion.

The FOMC voted 9-3 in July to hold the benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 3.5% to 3.75%, with some officials dissenting in favor of raising rates. The release of minutes comes as the total US public debt has surpassed $40 trillion for the first time, with a surge of a third in less than five years.
