📈 China’s Broad Money Supply Surpasses Combined U.S. and EU Since 2023

China’s broad money supply (M2) reached $39.7 trillion in September 2023, surpassing for the first time the combined total of the United States and the European Union ($39.6 trillion). By September 2025, China’s M2 had expanded further to $47.1 trillion—5.9% higher than the combined $44.5 trillion of the U.S. ($22.2 trillion) and EU ($22.3 trillion). This reflects the continued rapid expansion of China’s financial system and credit base relative to Western economies. Source: Econovis

🚨 TSMC’s Growth Just Slowed — and the Entire AI Supply Chain Is Watching

Bloomberg reports TSMC’s October sales rose 16.9% — still strong, but slower than the recent surge. Why it matters: TSMC sits at the choke point of advanced chips. When it slows, the ripple hits GPUs, memory, packaging, the whole AI stack. 📉 A slowdown in monthly sales doesn’t always mean weak demand. It can be: - Order timing (customers shifting deliveries) - Yield ramps (new node transitions) - Inventory digestion (buyers catching up) But zoom out… 💰 Cloud giants plan to spend >$400B on AI infrastructure next year — a 21% jump. That money flows straight into NVIDIA GPUs, high-bandwidth memory, advanced packaging, and TSMC’s cutting-edge wafers. 🗣️ NVIDIA’s CEO says demand is “getting stronger month by month” and even met with TSMC’s CEO to ask for more capacity. Translation: supply, not demand, is still the bottleneck. TSMC also builds for AMD, Qualcomm, and Apple — so who gets priority at the fab affects entire product launches. 🎯 The company says capacity is “very tight,” and chip designers are literally chasing slots in Hsinchu.

You can't print energy...

zerohedge: "The money is not the problem: AI is the new global arms race, and Capex will eventually be funded by governments (US and China). If you want to know why gold/silver/bitcoin is soaring, it's the "debasement" to fund the AI arms race. But you can't print energy".
