When the CEO of the world's leading chip maker says the Chinese are going to win the AI arms race, be afraid, be very afraid... the US economy would be deep in recession territory without the huge spending on AI technology.

The US tried to control China's access to semiconductors.
China retaliated by blocking rare earth exports and stopped buying soybeans.

80% of US stock market gains in 2025 are from AI.
Stock market gains enrich the top 10% who are driving the economy with their spending (it now accounts for 50% of consumer spending).
But behind the hype, the reality isn't so rosy...

#Trump called for the death penalty for the Central Park 5 in 1989... for a violent assault and rape that they didn't commit.
Let's join him in a call for the death penalty for rapist pedophiles in the #Epstein case.

Cool. #Apple launch a super thin iPhone which will mean we need to buy thicker cases to protect an already fragile phone that doesn't need to be any thinner in the first place. Genius.

Bond investors are smarter than that. Tariffs are a tax on US businesses and consumers that will eventually lead to a shrinking of the economy, which, combined with rising inflation and $4tn of extra debt from tax cuts will lead to higher borrowing costs and higher debt.
It's just economics stupid.

The Fed normally cuts rates to stimulate a stagnant economy... but according to the White House the economy is booming.
