PANews reported on November 14th that, according to Spanish media outlet Expansion, the Spanish ACS Group is close to reaching a $26.8 billion (approximately €23 billion) cooperation agreement with BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for data center development. The agreement includes GIP joining ACS's Digital & Energy division with a 50% stake, comprising €5 billion in incremental capital injections and €18 billion in debt. Amid surging AI computing demand and limited power capacity, digital infrastructure valuations have reached new highs. ACS previously planned to increase the valuation of its data center business to €3 billion to €5 billion by 2030, and this collaboration may push its valuation to the high end of that range. GIP manages over $180 billion in global assets and last month joined Microsoft and Nvidia in a $40 billion acquisition of U.S. data center company Aligned. Morgan Stanley estimates that major technology companies will spend $400 billion on AI infrastructure this year.PANews reported on November 14th that, according to Spanish media outlet Expansion, the Spanish ACS Group is close to reaching a $26.8 billion (approximately €23 billion) cooperation agreement with BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for data center development.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps
The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward.

All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
