- DXY (US Dollar Index)
For AI infrastructure investors, the DXY matters because many supply chain companies are non-US (TSMC in Taiwan, ASML in the Netherlands, Samsung in South Korea) — a strong dollar compresses their valuations when converted to USD terms.
- Economic Moat
In AI investing, Closelooknet distinguishes between physics-based moats (ASML's EUV monopoly, TSMC's fabrication lead) and software moats (which agentic AI may erode).
- EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography)
ASML is the sole supplier of EUV machines.
- Lithography
The chip-manufacturing step that uses light to pattern circuits onto silicon; ASML's EUV monopoly defines the leading edge.

The leading edge requires extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light, which is the source of ASML's strategic position.
