Summary

The program marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 while covering AI safety fears, political backlash against data centers, and global security issues. Markets rose as oil fell ahead of the Fed decision. Former Ambassador Nicholas Burns discussed NATO alliances, the upcoming Trump-Xi summit, Taiwan arms sales, and the Iran stalemate. Data center politics and rare earth supply risks were highlighted as investable themes.

  • Stocks advanced and oil declined, easing inflation concerns ahead of the Fed decision.
  • AI safety concerns grew after reports of Anthropic and OpenAI model misuse and security breaches.
  • Data center opposition emerged as a sleeper political issue ahead of the midterms.
  • 9/11 commemorations and the National Guard's expanded D.C. mission were discussed.
  • Nicholas Burns stressed the value of NATO alliances and criticized Trump's approach to Canada and Greenland.
  • Burns said the Trump-Xi summit should pursue tariff and supply-chain truces, including rare earths.
  • Burns favored continued Taiwan arms sales and saw no near-term resolution to the Iran stalemate.
  • Diesel prices above $6 a gallon raised energy-driven inflation risk.

Data center political backlash creates headwinds.
Data centers have become a sleeper political issue ahead of the midterms. Outside Washington, the debate is less about AI's societal impact and more about local concerns over water, energy, and community impact. Polls show many voters do not want data centers in their communities, and state and local politicians are beginning to step back from supporting them, creating political and regulatory headwinds for data center development.

Trump-Xi summit may ease rare earth supply.
The upcoming Trump-Xi summit should aim for a tariff truce and a supply-chain truce. A key outcome for investors is whether neither side withholds rare earths and other critical minerals and supplies from the global market. This makes rare earths and critical minerals a supply-chain risk to watch around the summit.
REMX MED

Iran stalemate keeps Hormuz oil supply risk.
The Iran situation is likely to remain a stalemate with no near-term diplomatic resolution. The Trump administration is right that Iran cannot be allowed to act as a toll keeper in the Strait of Hormuz, because that would hurt the global economy and the shipment of oil and other commodities. Investors should monitor the risk of continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
