What China Understands About AI and Energy That the US Doesn’t.

As the United States and China compete for dominance in artificial intelligence, energy is emerging as a critical battleground. Former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson warns that while the US still leads in AI technology, electricity shortages could become a major constraint as data center demand surges. Former US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns says China’s enormous investments in transmission, renewables, batteries, and power generation are already reshaping global supply chains, while Hoover Institution senior fellow Elizabeth Economy argues Beijing’s clean-energy strategy is as much about economic and geopolitical power as climate policy. Together, their assessments point to a growing reality: the AI race may depend not just on chips and software, but on generating enough power to sustain the technology.

In this Sunday-night market preparation video, Gareth #Soloway, Chief Market Strategist at VerifiedInvesting.com, outlines the key economic data, earnings reports, and technical levels to watch for the week of July 13, 2026.

Best way to buy/sell crypto and gold!

The stock market this week faces a blockbuster setup: CPI Tuesday, PPI Wednesday, retail sales Thursday, big bank earnings, plus Netflix and ASML reporting. Gareth Soloway, Chief Market Strategist at VerifiedInvesting.com, walks through his full Sunday-night prep so you head into the Monday open already grounded on the S&P 500, oil, gold, silver, the dollar, and the 10-year yield.

Gareth breaks down the major S&P 500 trend line that has acted as both resistance and support, why the ~7,300 zone is the line that matters, and what a break there would trigger. On oil, he lays out the $79 target on a break of $76, the $67 gap-fill floor, and why the strategic reserve refill keeps a bid under crude. He covers the tightening wedge in gold, the bear-flag reads in silver and ASML, a positive expectation into Netflix earnings, and a Bitcoin inverse head and shoulders that targets $71,000 on a daily close above the $64,200 neckline. Plus his radar list: AMD, SanDisk, Oracle, and The Trade Desk.

He also previews a major gold cycle research report and calculator, releasing this week free to anyone with a VerifiedInvesting.com account, pointing to an $11,000 to $13,000 handle in the early 2030s even with near-term downside to the $3,500 zone.
