Also, as we mentioned, Megan's been doing a whole lot of reporting on AI infrastructure over at Marketplace Tech.

Like going on a vintage manhole cover hunt for a look at technology booms of the past.

Also visiting a place that has been called the Winchester Mystery House of the Internet.

And trying to figure out if electrical vehicle trash can become AI data center treasure.

You can hear those stories on Marketplace Tech wherever you get your podcasts.

Just follow us there.

Jordan Maggi, Zanil Maharaj, Janet Nguyen, Olga Oxman, and Virginia K. Smith are the digital team around here.

I'm Kai Risdell.

We will see you tomorrow, everybody.

This is APM.

On the program today, macroeconomics in two flavors, gold and AI.

From American Public Media, this is Marketplace.

In Los Angeles, I'm Kai Rizal.

It is Monday today.

This one is the 26th of January.

Good as it always is to have you along, everybody.

We are going to begin today with a story that's not really about the story that you think is going to be the story.

I know, but stick with me.

I'll go slow.

Gold has been, and there's really no other word for it, simply soaring.
