But the next year, in his view, will also be shaped by a familiar trio of destabilizers—policy uncertainty, geopolitical shocks, and the real-world infrastructure constraints behind the AI boom. In a recent interview on CBS’s Face the Nation (filmed Dec. 17, aired Dec. 21; transcript published Dec. 28), Moynihan said Bank of America’s transaction data shows spending
