Summary
According to FXStreet, AI-related capital expenditure is now entering the Federal Reserve's inflation assessment, with market pricing for an October rate hike exceeding even odds. This suggests AI infrastructure spending has grown large enough to influence macro-level inflation and monetary policy expectations.
Bubble analysis
This suggests AI capex has grown large enough to push up overall inflation and shape the Fed's rate path, indirectly supporting the bubble argument that AI investment is unusually large relative to the economy — too much money, too concentrated. But the article gives no figures and says nothing about whether AI revenue is keeping up, so it is only indirect evidence.
