"The reality is AI is single-handedly propping up our economy."
In this episode, Jaspreet Singh sits down with Jackson (his head of investing research) to walk through the five biggest threats facing the US economy right now: rising interest rates, stubborn inflation, heavy dependence on AI, pressure from the United Kingdom, and high oil prices. Jackson explains why the Fed raised rates for the first time in three years, why Fed Governor Barr sees no path back to 2% inflation in a reasonable amount of time, and why oil is the biggest sticking point behind prices.
Jaspreet and Jackson then connect the pieces, from a debt to GDP ratio of about 125% and Treasury yields above 5% to AI stocks carrying the S&P 500. They explain how higher energy costs could slow AI growth, and where they see opportunity through emerging market bonds, international markets, and the always be buying, market crash, and market shift framework.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why the Fed raised interest rates and how higher rates put downward pressure on stocks and the economy Why higher rates can help the average person stretch their dollar while low rates tend to benefit investors Why rising Treasury yields pull money out of the stock market and what a Treasury bond actually is Why oil is the biggest driver of inflation and how it affects gas, electricity, and the price of a new car What a debt to GDP ratio of about 125% means and why the government is trying to outgrow its $40 trillion in debt Why AI is holding up the economy, with the S&P 500 up about 13% this year and much of the index down without AI stocks How rising energy costs and renegotiated contracts in 2027 could slow AI growth and raise its costs How emerging market bonds, international markets, and market shifts can create opportunities beyond US stocks
