   Ah, the duality of AI. Spending on the technology is boosting economic growth, yes, but it’s also driving up inflation. (In case you were too distracted by Jensen-Huang-enfreude, wholesale inflation was up 6.5% YoY in October.) What’s the Fed — which hasn’t met its 2% inflation goal in over five years — to do? In this episode, how the central bank might be thinking about AI ahead of its next meeting. Plus: Nvidia execs are likely getting very, very prepared for next week’s earnings call and private equity gets its paws on more and more food and beverage chains.

   This morning, we learned that the producer price index rose by 0.3% in October, up 6.5% year over year. At this point, the Fed's 2% inflation target feels far away, and wage gains haven't kept up with price increases for some seven months now. And while wealthier households continue to spend, working-class families are increasingly pinched by inflation. We discuss all that, then explain a Supreme Court case centered on the power of government agencies.

   Until this week, Nvidia only ever had one CEO: Jensen Huang. Now, Colette Kress — previously the company’s CFO — will take on the role while the company searches for a permanent replacement. It’s the job of a corporate board to cultivate a successor, but that didn’t happen at Nvidia. This morning, we unpack what went wrong. Then, what happens to a small business when it faces eye-popping increases in healthcare premiums?

   The board of Nvidia is reportedly meeting to decide whether to oust CEO Jensen Huang after news of a second extramarital affair. Nvidia stock is down in pre-market trading.

Do we need more guardrails to prevent something like this from spilling into the rest of the economy? And later: how SNAP cuts are playing out in Oklahoma.

    First-time jobless claims — that’s the number of people who filed for unemployment in a given week — are at a 57-year low. Sounds good, right? Sure, except changes to the unemployment insurance system have narrowed the pool of eligible recipients. And it doesn’t include the rising long-term unemployment rate. So the question is, are jobless claims a reliable economic indicator anymore? Also in this episode: War in the Middle East gives U.S. LNG producers a leg up, the Nashville Symphony recieves critical support from an unlikely source, and AI investors have their eyes glued to CoreWeave earnings.

    Back in the early 2000s, foreign investors owned the majority of the debt issued by the U.S. government. Since then, the market for U.S. debt has shifted toward domestic investors. Now, foreign investors own just a quarter of all U.S. debt. That shift can have consequences for interest rates during periods of turmoil. We dig in. Also, communities across the country have been banding together to fight data center projects, but many local governments approve them anyway.

    A new analysis from the federal Energy Information Administration shows that this year, oil refineries in the U.S. have been shifting some of their production capacity away from gasoline.

    Voters have made their dissatisfaction quite clear with the tech status quo. And it sounds like the Democrats gearing up to take power in the House and Senate might actually do something about that.

    
    

    Plus, Big Tech spent big on races in this election, but didn't get a whole lot of bang for their buck. But first, a tech issue that was actually on the ballot: data centers. More than 40 jurisdictions across 10 states voted to put them on ice. However, Harwood, North Dakota, gave them the green light. Paresh Dave, senior writer at Wired, joins Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino to explain more about all this on this week’s “Tech Bytes: Week in Review.”
