Arthur Hayes: Higher oil could trigger anti-AI politics and pressure stocks and Bitcoin
Arthur Hayes argues that rising oil prices could push Donald Trump to campaign against AI companies to appease voters worried about inflation, a shift he says could hit stocks, banks, and Bitcoin simultaneously.
