A topic I don’t usually mention on Linkedin is Finance. Now this is not financial advice but One word explains more of what’s happening right now than most headlines: CapEx.
CapEx (capital expenditure) is just large, long-term spending by companies ie. Factories. Data centers. Power infrastructure. Equipment etc. that takes years to build and billions to fund. CapEx is accelerating because of AI. This isn’t companies buying another app. It’s companies committing to physical builds that require energy, chips, copper, silver, land, logistics etc. When spending shifts from software licenses to concrete and power grids, the economy behaves differently.
At the same time prices feel higher. Interest rates are wild. Energy is constrained. Geopolitics adds friction. Historically, when CapEx rises, energy and industrial inputs move first. Infrastructure follows. Risk assets tend to react later. This matters whether you’re investing, building a business, or planning a career.
Don’t just watch price charts or narratives. Watch where companies are committing real money for long periods of time. AI and blockchain conversations make more sense. The future is already underway.
