Welcome back to AlphaTarget Pulse – your go-to podcast for sharp insights on markets, business, technology, and investing.
In this episode, we dive deep into the explosive topic of building AI data centers in space – why tech giants like Google (Project Suncatcher), Nvidia-backed Starcloud, Blue Origin, and even China are taking it seriously. We explore the massive energy advantages (constant solar power, 5-20x cheaper energy), the key bottlenecks (launch costs, Starship's potential game-changer in 2026), and which workloads (training vs. inference) could thrive in orbit despite latency challenges.
We also break down recent market rotation after Fed rate cuts and QT end – why AI/software stocks pulled back but remain in early innings with strong fundamentals (McKinsey: AI workloads 3x by 2030, inference 5x at 35% CAGR). Plus, our take on the macro tailwinds, oversold growth names, and S&P 500 historical post-rate-cut rallies.
Finally, we discuss the wild geopolitical volatility from President Trump's tariff threats on European nations over Greenland – and how a last-minute "framework" deal eased the pressure, but uncertainty lingers.
