About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of inflation returning and its effects on various economic trends and events.

This week, we discuss whether inflation is officially back and what it means for the AI megatrend. We deep dive into Micron crossing $900B, the memory supercycle, the Fed regime change under Kevin Warsh, the Trump-Xi summit and chip export deal probability, the Clarity Act markup, and why the soft landing might officially be dead.
