AI macro expert Jordi Visser argues the AI investment cycle is shifting from early-stage semiconductor winners like Micron to late-cycle physical bottlenecks including power generation, chemicals, and silver. He's rotating his portfolio accordingly, citing a structural mismatch between index weightings built for the software era and where economic value is actually being created in the AI buildout.

Heavy equipment maker Shantui Construction has filed for a Hong Kong IPO to expand its investor base. The company reported 9% profit growth last year, driven by strong overseas operations with 28.1% gross margins versus 9.6% domestically. Its excavator business is rapidly expanding with 30% sales growth, while bulldozer sales declined 12% due to China's weak property market. The company holds 10.2% of the global bulldozer market and benefits from infrastructure investments and China's Belt and Road Initiative.

The US Dollar Index has declined about 10% since January 2025 due to the Trump administration's focus on restructuring global trade, Federal Reserve rate cuts, and resilient global growth. Three stocks positioned to benefit from a weaker dollar are Caterpillar, Deere & Company, and Nucor Corporation. These companies benefit either through increased competitiveness of their exports or domestic pricing advantages. However, potential reversal risks exist if foreign countries rebuild dollar reserves.

Caterpillar, a century-old construction equipment manufacturer, is emerging as a compelling AI infrastructure play due to massive demand for data center construction from tech giants like Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft. The company reported a 22% revenue increase to $17.4 billion in Q1 2026, record backlogs, and a 170% stock surge over 12 months, positioning it as an overlooked but critical player in the AI physical infrastructure build-out.

Why Caterpillar Could Be the AI Stock of the Year
