Episode notes
Hyperscaler CapEx Is Propelling GDP And Lending
- Hyperscaler CapEx and business investment (non‑defense capital goods) materially boosted recent GDP and bank lending growth.
- That surge makes a near‑term recession less likely while data centers and corporate spending sustain economic activity.
Prefer Energy Pipelines Over Producers Right Now
- Prefer pipeline and midstream energy names over producers while oil futures show much lower forward prices.
- Producers are reluctant to drill because futures imply prices will fall, so pipelines (volume/toll business) are safer plays.
Oil Futures Signal A Temporary Spike Not A Permanent Shock
- Brent futures curve shows current spot elevated (~$110) but a forward path toward ~$80 by year‑end, incentivizing producers to hedge rather than expand drilling.
- If the Strait of Hormuz disruption persists, a sustained $90–115 range could push the S&P into a 10–15% correction.
