Odaily Planet Daily News: The cost of debt default protection for NVIDIA (NVDA.O) has recorded its largest single-day increase ever. This follows reports that NVIDIA is in talks regarding artificial intelligence infrastructure deals worth a total of over $750 billion, sparking market concerns about the company taking on more debt burden. According to data from ICE Data Services, the cost of five-year debt default protection for NVIDIA rose by approximately 0.14 percentage points on Monday, the largest intraday increase since this class of swap contracts began trading in November last year.

Odaily Note: CDS is a type of financial derivative, equivalent to "insurance" against a company's debt default. The higher the CDS spread (measured in basis points, bps), the greater the market perceives the likelihood of the company defaulting (i.e., the higher the risk).
