The base case, from the IEA. Global data centres consumed about 415 TWh in 2024, 1.5% of world electricity, roughly Germany plus Austria. By 2030, that doubles to ~945 TWh, just under 3% of global consumption, growing ~15% per year, four times faster than all other sectors combined.
Inside that number, the split is…
The thesis puts forward a five-part proposition: (i) the "vital energy" mentioned in the source text is formally isomorphic to the economic quantity of human attention, a scarce, allocable, measurable resource, as theorized by Herbert Simon (1971) and Michael Goldhaber (1997); (ii) this resource is captured by large corporations through a chain of signaling (Spence,…

SpaceX has a gross margin of 55.3%, but negative operating and net margins (-1.8% and -6.9%). Only Starlink connectivity is profitable (~+$1.66B OI), while Space and AI segments are loss-making. AWS boasts a 39.4% operating margin (+650 bps YoY), generating ~60% of Amazon's consolidated OI from ~21% of revenue. Microsoft Cloud's gross margin is…

On 20 July 2026, the KOSPI experienced a sharp deleveraging event, with the index falling over 4% intraday to close near 6,516. Key stocks Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix dropped ~4.3% and ~4.2% respectively, driven by structural concentration risk in AI/HBM memory, leveraged product amplification, policy tightening by the Bank of Korea, and margin-call…

This article applies the tools of game theory to the strategic analysis of the global memory oligopoly. By modeling the interactions between Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix as a three-player dynamic game, we identify Nash equilibria, potential tipping points, and the probabilities associated with each strategic scenario. This formal approach complements the quantitative models…

Silver, a unique hybrid asset (monetary, industrial, speculative, linked to energy transition), exhibits higher volatility than gold. Its price is influenced by monetary demand, industrial demand, physical supply, and real interest rates.
The primary driver, monetary demand, is linked to real interest rates (nominal rates minus inflation). When real rates are negative, the opportunity…
Doug Moglia, a strategist at Rockefeller Global Investment Management, identifies gold as the anchor of a new commodity cycle, projecting its long-term bull market to persist despite recent volatility. Commodities are regaining traction for diversification as structural demand outpaces constrained supply. While broader commodity trends are shaped by electrification, AI, reshoring, energy security, and underinvestment,…
Oil reserves are rapidly depleting, eroding the world's crucial buffer against supply shocks. A concerning JP Morgan chart, discussed by David Russell of GoldCore and featured in Bloomberg, illustrates the drastic decline in total discovered oil reserves, measured in billions of barrels.
These reserves initially built up during the COVID-19 pandemic when demand plummeted,…
Abstract
The emergence of artificial intelligence as a transformative economic force has catalyzed an unprecedented surge in demand for semiconductor components, creating a phenomenon economists are beginning to term "chipflation." This technical analysis examines the multifaceted impact of AI-driven chip demand on global inflation, market dynamics, and investment opportunities across the semiconductor ecosystem. Through quantitative…
