Summary
Sponsor: Teucrium Corn Fund (NYSE Arca: CORN): https://teucrium.com/corn In this episode of Monetary Matters, host Jack Farley sits down with independent economist and strategist David Woo to break down the hidden realities behind global tech markets and macroeconomics. Woo reveals how component inflation and artificial "token maxing" have created an optical illusion of accelerating corporate earnings, obscuring a real-term slowdown in tech hyperscaler CapEx. Rather than arguing that artificial intelligence lacks power, Woo presents a stark AI bear case rooted in imminent global regulatory crackdowns as advanced frontier models like Claude Mythos introduce severe cybersecurity and national security risks. He predicts that the broader AI industry is rapidly heading toward intense competition and commoditization, which will ultimately turn current hardware shortages into a massive compute glut. Turning to geopolitics, Woo details why he remains heavily bullish on oil as active military conflicts between Iran and Israel continue to jeopardize the blockaded Strait of Hormuz. Applying game theory to President Trump's ongoing ceasefire negotiations, he asserts that Iran is exploiting Washington's public push for a deal to extract tougher terms that will inevitably drive energy prices even higher.
