The Dollar Is Toast (Why a Cyberattack Could Collapse the AI Trade)
Summary
David Wu argues that AI and oil are the primary market drivers, warning that the AI bubble’s collapse would devastate the dollar. He identifies two critical risks: a cyberattack on AI infrastructure and potential US bans on Chinese models, which could trigger geopolitical retaliation. Wu also analyzes Middle East tensions, predicting Trump will not compromise on Iran ahead of midterms, raising the risk of a sudden oil supply shock.
