Deep dive
Unusual Whales, citing Barclays, posted that AI agents will trade up to 65 percent of US investment grade bonds. The post is a single line attributed to Barclays.
The post does not give a year for that share, does not define what counts as an AI agent in this forecast, and does not link a research note. Those details, if they appear in the Barclays work, are not in the lead post.
What to expect next
Watch for the Barclays note itself and any comment from large bond dealers. Until a date and a definition are on the record, the 65 percent figure should be read as a forecast relayed secondhand.
