Introduction:

In today’s episode, we examine three critical financial and economic stories shaping market dynamics. First, the United States is grappling with a severe senior care crisis as soaring demand combined with a shrinking caregiving workforce drives a 7.7% price surge, intensifying ‘care-flation’ and challenging the Federal Reserve’s ability to meet its 2% inflation target. Next, we explore Venezuela’s staggering 548% hyperinflation, which overshadows even the US military threats to the country. The bolívar’s collapse has created a ‘Venezuela Discount’ in global oil markets, shaped by the interplay of US sanctions and China’s evolving investment strategy—factors that critically impact the regime’s survival. Finally, we analyze a $90 billion debt binge by Google, Meta, and Amazon as these tech giants aggressively raise capital in bond markets to fuel the AI arms race. This surge in new bond issuances raises important questions about Wall Street’s capacity to absorb the supply and the implications for investors’ influence over the future of AI investment.
