Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Barclays estimates that AI agents could eventually handle as much as 65% of US investment-grade bond trading, according to a tweet from @unusual_whales citing Bloomberg. The projection reframes the debate among credit traders from whether automation will displace their work to how soon it will happen. The 65% figure applies to the share of trading activity that AI agents could manage in the US investment-grade corporate bond market, one of the largest and most liquid segments of global fixed income. The estimate signals that AI adoption in credit markets may move faster than many desk traders expect, with execution and quoting functions among the most exposed. What to watch next is whether Barclays and other dealers disclose concrete timelines or pilot programs for agent-driven bond trading, and whether the 65% threshold holds as a long-run ceiling or an interim milestone.
