AI-driven borrowing is prompting investors to seek greater downside protection:

- Weekly trading volume in credit default swaps (CDS) linked to major tech companies climbed to roughly $8 billion in December 2025, marking the highest level on record.
- Since August, volumes have more than doubled.
- For comparison, CDS volumes held steady at about $3 billion during the first half of 2025.
- This surge follows tech companies collectively raising $88 billion in debt last fall to finance AI infrastructure projects, led by Meta ($META), Amazon ($AMZN), Alphabet ($GOOGL), and Oracle ($ORCL).
- Looking ahead, investment-grade firms are projected to issue an enormous $1.5 trillion in debt by 2030 to support AI infrastructure expansion.

Investors are quietly positioning to hedge against risks tied to AI-related debt.

BREAKING: U.S. M2 money supply surged by $1.65 trillion in 2025, reaching a record $26.7 trillion.

This represents the largest annual increase since 2021 and marks the third consecutive yearly gain.

Since mid-2023, M2 has expanded by $3.7 trillion, fueled by sharply rising bank deposits and inflows into money market funds.

On average, money supply has grown by $116 billion per month during this period.

By contrast, between January 2022 and April 2023, M2 contracted by $450 billion, equivalent to a monthly decline of $28 billion.

U.S. money creation is accelerating at a striking pace.

The U.S. job market is showing signs of strain:

- Nonfarm payrolls have fallen by 164,000 over the past four months when excluding healthcare and social assistance, marking the steepest decline since the 2020 pandemic.
- Although total payrolls increased by 41,000 during this period, underlying weakness is evident.
- Historically, such declines outside of recessions have been rare.
- At the start of 2025, this figure stood at +500,000, underscoring the sharp reversal.
- In 2025, healthcare and social assistance accounted for 713,000 of the 733,000 private-sector job gains.
- That leaves just 20,000 jobs generated by the rest of the more cyclical and productive sectors.

Healthcare has become the primary driver of U.S. employment growth.

Shocking statistic of the day:

The top 10% of U.S. earners now account for a record 49% of all consumer spending.

This share has climbed by 13 percentage points over the past 30 years, underscoring a major shift in spending power.

Meanwhile, the bottom 80% of earners contribute only about 37% of total consumer expenditures, a decline of 11 percentage points since 1995.

As a result, the top 10% represent a record 33% of U.S. GDP, given that personal consumer expenditures make up 68% of total economic output.

By contrast, the bottom 80% account for just 25% of the economy.

In this environment, asset owners remain the sole beneficiaries.

BREAKING: China’s trade surplus surged +19.7% year-over-year in 2025, reaching a record $1.2 trillion.

Imports held steady at $2.6 trillion, while exports climbed +5.5% YoY to $3.8 trillion, marking an all-time high.

In December alone, exports increased +6.6% YoY, surpassing all economist forecasts.

By region, exports to Africa soared +25.8% YoY, followed by ASEAN at +13.4%, the EU at +8.4%, and Latin America at +7.4%.

Conversely, exports to the U.S. dropped -20% YoY.

As a result, the U.S. now accounts for just 11.1% of China’s total exports, down from 14.7% in 2024—one of the lowest shares since the 1990s.

China is actively redirecting trade flows away from the United States.

BREAKING: Tomorrow, in a historic move, President Trump is expected to unveil an “emergency power auction” that would require major technology companies to finance new power plants.

The plan aims to build $15 billion worth of new facilities.

PJM, the nation’s largest grid operator, will spearhead the initiative alongside Trump.

As noted previously, this year’s focus will be on affordability in the run-up to the midterm elections.

The ongoing electricity crisis driven by AI demand is projected to worsen without decisive action.

In September, the average U.S. retail electricity price rose +7.4%, reaching a record 18.07 cents per kWh.

This week, Trump stated, “I never want Americans to pay higher electricity bills because of data centers.”

Electricity has now become the next major issue.
