U.S. data center spending sets record high

Joseph Politano reports that U.S. data center construction has reached another record high, with spending now at an annualized pace of nearly $60 billion.

Politano adds that spending on data centers is up 23% over the last year and has surged 328% since the launch of ChatGPT.

Politano previously highlighted that U.S. CPI inflation reached 4.2% year-on-year, the highest since 2023. Core CPI inflation also rose to 2.9%. These indicators reflect continued shifts in major U.S. economic benchmarks.
