Unter dem Titel The Great Demographic Reversal (dt. Die große demografische Wende) veröffentlichten die Ökonomen Charles Goodhart und Manoj Pradhan im Jahr 2020 ein vielbeachtetes Buch. Im Februar 2021 waren die beiden zu Gast im bto-Podcast. Die These aus ihrem Buch war provokant: Die Zeit der niedrigen Inflation ist historisch beendet, weil zwei einmalige Angebotsschocks – der Eintritt Chinas und Osteuropas in den Welthandel plus der Anstieg der weiblichen Erwerbsbeteiligung – auslaufen. Die Demografie kehrt sich um, das Arbeitsangebot schrumpft, die Abhängigenquote verschlechtert sich. Inflation, Zinsen und Löhne müssen strukturell höher sein.Sieben Jahre später haben Goodhart und Pradhan ein Nachfolgebuch vorgelegt: The Unanchored Central Banker. Die These wurde verschärft: Die Fiskalpolitik ist so unsustainable geworden, dass Geldpolitik in ihrer bekannten Form nicht mehr funktionieren kann. Notenbanken werden gezwungen sein, häufiger in Bondmärkte einzugreifen. Und Goodhart, geboren 1936, sagt in seinem aktuellen Interview: „Von nun an wird die demografische Entwicklung das Leben immer schlimmer und schlimmer machen. (a. d. eng./Red.)“ Inzwischen liegen zwei aktuelle deutsche Publikationen vor – beide aus dem Juli 2026 –, die Goodharts These direkt bestätigen: der ifo Schnelldienst (70 Prozent für Rente und Gesundheit) und eine Kronberger-Kreis-Studie (Tragfähigkeit der Eurozone durch demografischen Druck ernsthaft gefährdet).

Deutschland zeigt konjunkturell erste positive Signale, doch fehlende Reformen und geringe Investitionen in Zukunftstechnologien bremsen das langfristige Wachstum. In der Eurozone richtet sich der Blick neben der Geldpolitik vor allem auf mehr Integration und bessere Rahmenbedingungen für Investitionen. Die USA profitieren weiterhin von einem robusten Konsum und massiven Investitionen in Künstliche Intelligenz, die zunehmend zum Wachstumstreiber werden. Und China setzt angesichts eines schwachen Binnenmarkts verstärkt auf den Export, wodurch der Wettbewerbsdruck auf europäische Unternehmen weiter zunimmt. Was bedeutet das für Wachstum, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Märkte? In der neuen Folge von results. MärkteAktuell geben Sebastian Neckel und Dr. Ulrich Stephan einen kompakten Überblick über die wichtigsten Entwicklungen und ordnen diese ein. (Aufnahmedatum: 10.08.2026 um 14 Uhr)

We explore the US Treasury's unprecedented decision to prop up the Japanese Yen by selling Euro assets, a move that bypassed the ECB and shattered decades of diplomatic norms. This episode breaks down how America's $1 trillion debt service is driving aggressive financial maneuvers and what the erosion of the global rules-based order means for the future of the Eurozone. We analyse the structural fragility of the US economy and the potential for a European retaliation that could reshape global geoeconomics. Hosted on Acast.

Eurozone growth expectations have improved, supported by a strong earnings season. Oil prices rose on renewed Strait of Hormuz tensions, while OPEC output recovered in July. AI investment remained in focus, with Intel raising capital, Nvidia securing funding for AI infrastructure, and regulatory changes supporting additional financing channels. However, this did not support the Nasdaq, which edged lower on Monday. Gold and silver extended their rally from late last week, supported by rebounding gold ETF demand. Enrico Chinello, Next Generation Research, discusses the state of AI infrastructure spending, arguing that it is not a bubble, while stressing that investors should focus more closely on valuations, earnings visibility and monetisation.(00:00) - Introduction: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content (00:42) - Markets wrap-up: Mike Rauber, Product & Investment Content (06:49) - Artificial Intelligence: Enrico Chinello, Next Generation Research (12:07) - Closing remarks: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

In this episode of The Week That Was, our host Michelle Castilino covers key global and domestic financial updates:​Global Developments: Major equity markets in the US, Eurozone, Japan, and China broke out of recent ranges, fueled by strong US corporate earnings and stabilizing oil prices as shipping routes opened in the Strait of Hormuz.​India Macro Updates: The RBI maintained its repo rate at 5.25% with a neutral stance, revising FY27 growth expectations up to 6.7% while moderation was noted in July PMI figures.​Domestic Markets & Bonds: Indian equities saw consecutive weekly gains led by the auto, capital goods, and metal sectors. Meanwhile, domestic bond yields declined following strong foreign capital inflows.Speaker:Michelle Castellino Investment Strategist

Was uns die neuesten Daten über das Wachstum in Deutschland, Europa und den USA und den EZB-Kurs verraten Die geopolitische Lage im Nahen Osten bleibt angespannt. Hat sich im Konflikt um den Iran in den vergangenen Tagen etwas ereignet, das den Ausblick auf die Wirtschaft und die Finanzmärkte erheblich verändern könnte, oder bleibt die Lage vorerst unverändert? – Ein Blick auf die globale Konjunktur führt zu den jüngsten Wirtschaftsdaten aus den USA. Bleibt das Land weiterhin auf Wachstumskurs? Wo liegen derzeit die Stärken der US-Wirtschaft? Und an welchen Stellen zeigen sich die größten Risiken? – Die aktuellen Wirtschaftszahlen aus Deutschland sind etwas besser ausgefallen als erwartet. Was hat die Konjunktur im ersten Halbjahr gestützt? Und was ist die größte Schwachstelle der deutschen Wirtschaft? – Auch die Wirtschaft der Eurozone insgesamt konnte trotz des Irankrieges im zweiten Quartal weiter wachsen. Haben neben Deutschland auch andere Länder positiv überrascht? Wo liegen jetzt die größten Risiken? Und ist angesichts dieser Entwicklung mit einem weiteren Zinsschritt der Europäischen Zentralbank nach oben zu rechnen? – Schließlich: In Deutschland haben einige Politiker vorgeschlagen, das Reformpaket für die Rente wieder aufzuschnüren. Worum geht es in der aktuellen Diskussion? Und wie ist diese Debatte zu bewerten?

Ben and Tom discuss the rare coordinated currency intervention with the US joining Japan and possibly Korea to prop up the yen from 164 to 155, Japan spending at least $53 billion with the US chipping in over $1 billion — reportedly by selling euros rather than dollars in a strategic move to pressure Eurozone policy while supporting Japan, Bessent's incentive to keep Japan from dumping US Treasuries, Japan's plan to tap a COVID-era $60B/day USD swap facility, Iran signaling that Hormuz talks with Oman are entering the final stages after MBS urged Trump to prioritize dialogue, and the market reaction with oil down 5% to the high-$70s/low-$80s, the 10-year at 4.68%, and stocks up 0.5%.Join our live YouTube stream Monday through Friday at 8:30 AM EST:http://www.youtube.com/@TheMorningMarketBriefingPlease see disclosures:https://www.narwhal.com/disclosure

Die Wall Street startet freundlich in den Freitag, mit dem Nasdaq aber unter den Tageshochs. Nach der kräftigen Erholung vom Donnerstag setzen Anleger weiter auf eine Stabilisierung der KI-Aktien. Auslöser ist zum einen die Entspannung rund um den Hedgefonds Situational Awareness, dessen Portfoliotransaktionen zuletzt als wesentlicher Treiber der massiven Verkäufe im KI-Sektor galten, zum anderen eine überzeugende Zahlenflut aus dem Technologiesektor. Im Mittelpunkt steht Amazon. Der Konzern steigerte den Umsatz um 20 Prozent, das Cloud-Geschäft AWS wuchs um beeindruckende 37 Prozent, das stärkste Wachstum seit 18 Quartalen, und die operative Marge erreichte außergewöhnlich hohe 39,4 Prozent. Gleichzeitig zeigt sich jedoch die Kehrseite des KI-Booms: Der freie Cashflow rutschte auf minus 9 Milliarden US-Dollar, während die Investitionen in KI-Infrastruktur auf rund 220 Milliarden US-Dollar erhöht werden. Apple legte zwar bessere Quartalszahlen als erwartet vor, belastete die Börse jedoch mit einem schwächeren Ausblick. Vor allem das Dienstleistungsgeschäft sowie das China-Geschäft blieben hinter den Erwartungen zurück, während das Management für das laufende Quartal auf Lieferengpässe und Währungseffekte verwies. Makroseitig richtet sich der Blick heute auf den Arbeitskostenindex, den Einkaufsmanagerindex aus Chicago sowie das endgültige Verbrauchervertrauen der Universität Michigan. International sorgen die überraschend restriktiven Signale der Bank of Japan, schwache chinesische Einkaufsmanagerindizes und eine leicht über den Erwartungen liegende Kerninflation in der Eurozone für zusätzliche Aufmerksamkeit. Unter den weiteren Unternehmenszahlen überzeugen Chevron, Reddit, Eaton, MasTec und DexCom mit starken Ergebnissen und teils angehobenen Prognosen. Coinbase und Roblox enttäuschen dagegen mit schwächeren Geschäftszahlen und einem verhaltenen Ausblick.

Trotz besserer Konjunkturdaten bleibt ein nachhaltiger Aufschwung in Deutschland vorerst aus, da Unternehmen bei Investitionen und Neueinstellungen weiterhin zurückhaltend sind. In der Eurozone muss die EZB zwischen anhaltendem Preisdruck und schwacher wirtschaftlicher Dynamik abwägen, während steigende langfristige Zinsen die Finanzierung zusätzlich erschweren. In den USA stehen neben der FED vor allem die großen Technologiekonzerne im Mittelpunkt, deren Quartalszahlen Hinweise auf die wirtschaftlichen Erträge der hohen KI-Investitionen liefern sollen. Zugleich sorgt die volatile Entwicklung der Ölpreise für neue Risiken bei Inflation, Zinsen und globalem Wachstum. Was bedeutet das für Inflation, Wachstum und Märkte? In der neuen Folge von results.

In der Eurozone rückt die Geldpolitik erneut in den Fokus, während steigende Energiepreise und geopolitische Risiken den Inflationsdruck hoch halten. Die USA profitieren weiterhin von einer robusten Wirtschaft und hohen Investitionen in Künstliche Intelligenz, doch der Nahostkonflikt bleibt ein Unsicherheitsfaktor.

Jüngste EZB-Zinserhöhung sei ein Fehler gewesen!In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge der Geldmeisterin spricht JuliaKistner mit #Dr.HolgerSchmieding , Chefvolkswirt bei Berenberg,über Inflation, Zinsen, Kapitalmärkte und die Frage, welche Anlagen in einem inflationäre Umfeld wirklich Schutz bieten. Seine überraschende Antwort: Momentan sieht er gar keine Inflationstendenzen. Die jüngste Zinserhöhung der Europäischen Zentralbank bezeichnet Holger Schmieding deshalb als Fehler. Der aktuelle Inflationsdruck in der Eurozone komme vor allem von außen,insbesondere durch höhere Energiepreise infolge geopolitischer Spannungen. Auf solche Preisschocks könne die EZB mit höheren Zinsen kaum sinnvoll reagieren. Im Gegenteil: Höhere Finanzierungskosten könnten die ohnehin belastete Konjunktur zusätzlich schwächen.Für die kommenden Monate erwartet Schmieding keine weiteren Zinserhöhungen der EZB. Die Inflation in der Eurozone dürfte seiner Einschätzung nach im kommenden Frühjahr wieder inRichtung zwei Prozent zurückgehen. Mittelfristig könne sie allerdings wieder etwas höher liegen, insbesondere wenn Arbeitskräfte knapper werden und dadurch der Lohndruck steigt. Die KI könne den Arbeitskräftemangel nicht komplett kompensieren.Auch international sieht Schmieding unterschiedliche Inflationsbilder. In den USA sei der Inflationsdruck stärker hausgemacht: Zölle, höhere Staatsausgaben und eine restriktivere Einwanderungspolitik könnten Preise und Löhne länger oben halten. In China hingegen gebe es eher deflationäre Tendenzen, weil massive Überkapazitäten bei Industriegütern auf die Preise drücken.Für Anlegerinnen und Anleger bedeutet das laut Schmieding: Die Kapitalmärkte könnten davon profitieren, dass die Zentralbanken weniger stark straffen müssen als manche Marktteilnehmer erwarten. Aktien sieht er grundsätzlich weiterhin positiv, während Anleihen kurzfristig von stabileren Renditen profitieren könnten. Langfristig sei bei Staatsanleihen aber Vorsicht geboten, falls dieRenditen in einigen Jahren wieder steigen.Gold, inflationsgeschützte Anleihen, Bitcoin und FiatgeldGold könne zwar davon profitieren, dass die Zinsen doch nicht so stark steigen. Aber aus Inflationssicht für Schmieding sei Gold derzeit kein zwingender Kauf. Inflationsgeschützte Anleihen hält Ökonom Holger Schmieding nur bedingt attraktiv. Es sei zu viel Inflationsangst bereits eingepreist. Bitcoin sieht er nicht als Inflationsschutz, sondern als hochvolatile Wette.Beim Thema Währungen bleibt Volkswirt Holger Schmieding klar: Der Dollar werde zwar etwas an Marktanteil verlieren, bleibe aber Leitwährung Nummer eins. Weder der chinesische Yuan noch der Euro hätten derzeit die Voraussetzungen, den Dollarabzulösen. Europa fehle dafür unter anderem ein tiefer, einheitlicher Kapitalmarkt.Wo Holger Schmieding momentan vorsichtig wäre sei bei stark gestiegenen KI-Werten. Er warnt davor, jetzt unüberlegt auf den Zug aufzuspringen. Interessanter findet er in Europa Themen rund um Verteidigung, Luftfahrt, Raumfahrt, Drohnen undsicherheitsrelevante Technologien. Auch erneuerbare Energien hätten Zukunft, seien aber stark von politischen Rahmenbedingungen abhängig.Eine Podcast-Folge, die gehört gehört.

EZB-Forum in Sintra – Zinsen, KI und Europas Produktivitätsproblem. Christian Keller von Barclays im GesprächIn dieser Folge von Wirtschaft mit Weisbach geht es um das EZB-Forum in Sintra, den Ausblick für die Geldpolitik, die wirtschaftliche Lage in der Eurozone und die Frage, welche Rolle künstliche Intelligenz für Wachstum, Produktivität und Finanzstabilität spielt.Ich spreche mit Christian Keller, Global Head of Economics Research bei Barclays. Er war vor Ort in Sintra, wo sich Notenbankerinnen und Notenbanker aus aller Welt getroffen haben, um über Inflation, Zinsen, Konjunktur und die großen strukturellen Herausforderungen der Weltwirtschaft zu diskutieren.Keller erklärt, warum die Stimmung unter den Zentralbanken trotz geopolitischer Unsicherheiten kooperativ geblieben ist. Außerdem geht es darum, weshalb der gesunkene Ölpreis den Notenbanken etwas Entlastung verschafft, warum in der Eurozone aktuell nicht mit massiv steigenden Zinsen zu rechnen ist und ob im zweiten Halbjahr ein konjunktureller Aufholeffekt möglich sein könnte.Ein zentrales Thema ist auch der KI-Boom in den USA. Keller erläutert, warum künstliche Intelligenz, Investitionen in Datenzentren und ein weiterhin hohes Fiskaldefizit das Wachstum der US-Wirtschaft stützen. Gleichzeitig stellt sich die Frage, ob Europa beim nächsten Produktivitätsschub mithalten kann – und welche Reformen dafür notwendig wären.Außerdem im Podcast:Warum das EZB-Forum in Sintra weiterhin ein wichtiger Ort für internationale Zusammenarbeit istWeshalb der niedrigere Ölpreis den geldpolitischen Ausblick verändertOb die EZB die Zinsen noch einmal senken könnteWarum die Eurozone weiterhin mit strukturellen Wachstumsproblemen kämpftWie stark die USA bereits vom KI-Investitionsboom profitierenWelche Rolle künstliche Intelligenz für Produktivität und neue Geschäftsprozesse spielen kannWarum Europa bei Physical AI, Robotik und industrieller Anwendung Chancen haben könnteWelche Reformen notwendig wären, damit Europa produktiver wirdWelche Risiken KI für Finanzmärkte, Bewertungen und Finanzstabilität mit sich bringtEin Gespräch über das EZB-Forum in Sintra, Geldpolitik, Zinsen, Inflation, Ölpreise, die Eurozone, die US-Wirtschaft, künstliche Intelligenz, Produktivität, Arbeitsmarktreformen, Physical AI, Finanzstabilität, mögliche Bewertungsrisiken an den Märkten und die Frage, wie Europa im globalen KI-Wettbewerb bestehen kann.

Obligaties, de yen, goud. Het zijn normaal gesproken veilige investeringen. Al is dat dit jaar niet meer het geval. De veilige havens voor beleggers doen hun werk niet meer, concludeert CNBC. Goud staat flink lager dan begin dit jaar, de yen staat er zwak bij en obligaties worden ook verkocht. Deze aflevering kijken we wat er aan de hand is en vooral: waar jij dan wel moet schuilen. Wat voor jou veilige havens zijn in onrustige tijden. Hebben we het ook zeker over Christine Lagarde. Ze hint erop om tóch eerder te vertrekken bij de ECB. Ze is nu nog president bij de centrale bank, maar ze denkt er aan om president van Frankrijk te worden! Waardoor wij weer op onderzoek uit moeten: wie moet haar bij de ECB opvolgen? Een wonderlijke stap. Daarover gesproken: de wonderen zijn de wereld nog niet uit. President Trump zegt dat hij en Elon Musk weer een hele goede band hebben. Sterker: Musk zou SpaceX aandelen aan zijn regering willen schenken. Verder in dit beurstheater: Mark Zuckerberg geeft zijn fouten bij Meta toe De olieprijs gaat naar beneden!

Japan's Yen drops to its weakest level in nearly 40 years. One business owner in Tokyo tells us the company is struggling to hang on.Are further interest rate rises on the way for the Eurozone? We ask a leader at the European Central bank forum.And a new deal for steel as the EU prepares to bring in tighter rules.

Tomatoes cook on the vine and cereal crops get scorched – climate change is hitting French agriculture, and shoppers are poised to bear the brunt of it. Also, the EU and China set an October deadline to make progress on trade disputes, while the ECB Chief Christine Lagarde says the Eurozone economy is resilient enough to withstand an end to exceptional monetary policy measures.

It's the first increase since 2023 but what will it mean for people? Our Economics and Public Affairs Editor David Murphy tells us more.

More than 30 years after the original movie, Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are back as Woody and Buzz in the fifth instalment of one of the most lucrative franchises in film history. Plus, with inflation rising above 3%, is a rate hike back on the table for the Eurozone? And, Nvidia doubles down on Taiwan despite the self-governed island's tensions with China.

Markets were mixed yesterday, with Middle East tensions driving a sharp rise in oil and weighing on sentiment. European equities edged lower, while all three major US indices reached fresh highs, supported by strong momentum in AI-linked names. Macro data showed a divided backdrop — resilient manufacturing in Asia, slowing growth and rising cost pressures in the Eurozone, modest but improving trends in Switzerland, and solid momentum in the US. Today, we were joined by Carsten Menke, Head of Next Generation Research, who provided a deep-dive into cybersecurity, highlighting the sector's remarkable rebound and why it is becoming increasingly mission critical, even more so in the age of AI.(00:00) - Introduction: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content (00:28) - Markets wrap-up: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content (06:58) - What's behind the cybersecurity rebound?: Carsten Menke, Head of Next Generation (10:17) - Closing remarks: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

The European Commission has cut its 2026 GDP growth forecast for the euro area to 0.9 percent amid the war in Iran, down from a previous prediction of 1.2 percent.

G7 finance ministers and central bankers have wrapped up their two-day meetings in Paris as the war in Iran and the energy crisis continue to weigh on the global economy. Eurogroup President Kyriakos Pierrakakis, who represented the 21-member euro area in the talks, told FRANCE 24's François Picard and Yuka Royer that despite some differences, there was a shared understanding that a multilateral approach was key to facing the ongoing challenges. 

Europe is entering a period of growing fragmentation. Rising defence pressures, economic stagnation, and geopolitical dependence are colliding at a moment when the European Union appears increasingly unable to act collectively.We welcome Marco Buti, former Director General for Economic and Financial Affairs at the European Commission and one of the key figures behind Europe's response to the Eurozone crisis.In this discussion, we discuss the future of the European project; from austerity and common debt to defense spending, industrial policy, and the growing tension between national interests and collective European action.

Thinking about visiting or moving to Sofia, Bulgaria in 2026? In this episode, we break down our honest first impressions of Sofia after spending time in the city and compare it to Porto and Lisbon, Portugal. We cover the real cost of living in Sofia, rent prices, food prices, transportation, weather, friendliness of locals, and whether Sofia is still one of Europe's best affordable cities now that Bulgaria has joined the Eurozone.

In this episode of The European Market Brief, Mark Longo is joined by Dr. Russell Rhoads (IU Kelley School of Business), Steve Sosnick (Interactive Brokers), and Matt Riley (Eurex) to dissect a rapidly shifting landscape. With the Iran conflict crossing the one-month mark, the panel explores why the "shock and awe" expectations of a quick resolution have evaporated, replaced by fears of a lingering market impact through the end of the year. Key Topics Covered: The VSTOXX 30-Handle: We haven't seen these levels in a year. Is the current spike justified, or are traders "once bitten, twice shy" after the quick recoveries of 2025? The Great Divergence: Why the U.S. and Europe are splitting on rate expectations—from "endless cuts" to potential hikes. Free Data for the "Eurex-Curious": Steve Sosnick breaks down Interactive Brokers' new initiative providing free real-time Eurex data for retail and institutional traders. Rotation vs. Repatriation: Is the "Sell America" trade real? Why investors are looking at the STOXX 600 for value and diversification away from the Mag 7. The Red Phone: The team answers listener questions on the Brent/WTI spread and whether the U.S. Midterms are actually being priced into European vol. This episode is brought to you by Eurex—the home of Euro STOXX, VSTOXX, DAX, and European rates derivatives.

Wie immer diskutieren wir im ersten Teil unseres Programms aktuelle Ereignisse der Woche. Wir beginnen mit einer Diskussion über die moralische Frage, ob es richtig ist, das iranische Volk zum Aufstand gegen das Regime aufzurufen, wenn bekannt ist, dass dabei viele Menschen unweigerlich ums Leben kommen werden. Anschließend sprechen wir über Unternehmen in der Eurozone, die unter wachsendem Druck stehen, da der Krieg im Iran die Ölpreise in die Höhe treibt, Lieferketten beeinträchtigt und das Vertrauen in die Wirtschaft schwächt. Unser Wissenschaftsthema ist heute einer Studie gewidmet, die über eine neue Klasse von Medikamenten gegen Adipositas berichtet. Diese basieren auf einem Molekül, das in burmesischen Pythons vorkommt und bei diesen nach dem Fressen eine dramatische Beschleunigung des Stoffwechsels bewirkt. Und zum Schluss gratulieren wir Finnland, das zum neunten Mal in Folge das glücklichste Land der Welt ist. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf To Leave Verbs. Dadurch, dass immer mehr Deutsche aus der Kirche austreten, bleiben viele Kirchengebäude leer. Es gibt die verschiedensten Ansätze, wie man die ehemaligen Gotteshäuser anderweitig nutzen kann. Und es ist nicht das erste Mal in der Geschichte, dass Kirchengebäude einem anderen Zweck dienen. Der Kölner Dom braucht Geld. Die Verwalter des Kölner Doms haben deshalb beschlossen, dass für Touristen ab der zweiten Hälfte des Jahres ein Eintrittsgeld fällig werden wird. Der Grund? Wie überall im öffentlichen Raum ist auch hier Schmalhans Küchenmeister, und genau das ist die Redewendung dieser Woche.

Markets are deep in risk-off mode as crypto winter tightens its grip. The ECB and Bank of England both held rates, with the BoE signaling it may be nearing the end of its easing cycle.

Other exports, including Canadian canola meal, lobsters, crabs, and peas will also not be subject to Chinese anti-discrimination tariffs until at least the end of 2026. A week later, Carney told the global elite at Davos resort that the “rules-based order” established by the United States and its allies following WW2 was fraying amid the current rivalry between China and America, so the “middle powers must act together because if we’re not on the table, we’re on the menu.”  Carney said that for their survival, nations should no longer “go along to get along” with Trump.   Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has “no intention” of pursuing a free trade deal with China, after Donald Trump threatened to slap a 100% tariff on Canadian exports if Ottawa “makes a deal” with Beijing.   Source: zerohedge.com Trump Is Right About Europe's Weak Economy: U.S. vs. EU Compared  President Trump argued that Europe's economic stagnation is the result of a self-inflicted “civilizational erasure” driven by reliance on what he calls the “Green New Scam,” which he says has replaced affordable energy with costly and unreliable wind power. He further asserted that unchecked mass migration has strained social infrastructure and altered the continent's cultural identity, while a stifling regulatory environment and excessive government spending have suppressed the innovation needed to compete with the United States. Finally, he accused European nations of freeloading on American security, arguing that their failure to meet NATO defense spending targets over the past 70 years has allowed them to avoid the true costs of national sovereignty at the expense of the American taxpayer. Based on current economic data as of January 2026, the comparison supports Trump's critique. While the United States is experiencing aggressive growth alongside widespread deregulation, Europe remains mired in what can best be described as stabilized stagnation. The United States enters 2026 with inflation at 2.7%, steadily returning toward the 2% target. As in President Trump's first term, strong GDP growth has been paired with relatively modest inflation. Fourth-quarter GDP growth is projected at 5.4%, dwarfing Europe's stagnant 0.2%. For the full year, U.S. growth is expected to reach between 4.3% and 5%, while Europe is projected to manage only about 1.3% to 1.6%. On the labor front, the United States maintains its historical advantage, with unemployment at 4.4% compared to 6.3% in the Eurozone. This low level of unemployment has been achieved despite deep government job cuts that reduced taxpayer costs. While the United States reduced federal spending by $100 billion, European fiscal policy has moved in the opposite direction. The U.S. has moved 1.2 million people off food stamps, while European social safety nets are coming under increased strain from rising living costs. In 2024, the most recent data available, EU social protection spending rose by 7%, far outpacing nominal GDP growth. This imbalance pushed the social expenditure-to-GDP ratio to 27.3% across the bloc, with countries such as France and Austria exceeding 31%, reinforcing the strain caused by rising demand for social welfare. Energy remains far cheaper in the United States, particularly electricity and natural gas, due to abundant domestic production, lower taxes and levies, and reduced reliance on imports, with overall prices about half of Europe's and industrial electricity often as little as one-third.

More LNG, more U.S. gas, more renewables… Higher costs baked in. For Brussels this is an irreversible line. After 2027, there's no “going back to normal.” The EU has indeed been importing refined petroleum products from India that originate from Russian crude oil, creating an indirect pathway for Russian oil to enter the European market despite sanctions on direct imports from Russia since December 2022.  This circumvention became prominent after the EU and G7 imposed a price cap on Russian oil, prompting Russia to redirect exports to countries like India and China, where the crude is refined and then resold.    EU officials and analysts have long acknowledged the loophole, which is why recent sanctions packages have targeted it directly. For instance, the EU’s 18th sanctions package in July 2025 banned the import of petroleum products derived from Russian crude processed in third countries, and specifically sanctioned Nayara Energy, an Indian refinery partly owned by Russia’s Rosneft.  The 19th package in October 2025 further tightened measures by sanctioning additional third-country entities, including three in India, for supporting Russia’s circumvention efforts. As a result, major Indian refiners like Reliance Industries have stopped importing Russian crude for certain facilities to comply with these rules and maintain access to EU markets. Russia, meanwhile, continues to adapt by using new middlemen exporters to supply India, aiming to sustain the flow despite the crackdown.  India has not fully stopped importing Russian oil since then, but imports have significantly declined. In 2025, Russia’s share of India’s crude oil imports fell to 33.3% from 36% the previous year, while OPEC’s share rose slightly to 50%.  By December 2025, India dropped to the third-largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels overall, importing €2.3 billion worth that month, with major refiners like Reliance Industries scaling back or halting purchases.    This reduction appears driven by a mix of U.S. tariff pressures, steeper discounts on Russian crude drawing buyers back selectively, and India’s strategic diversification to ensure energy security without fully alienating Russia—a key defense and trade partner. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2015527595975033161?s=20   the CMC Joint Staff Dept: Under investigation for violations 5.

This drive is officially framed as rooting out graft, bribery, and disciplinary violations, but analysts widely interpret it as a mechanism for Xi to consolidate power, enforce unwavering loyalty among military leaders, and address systemic issues like incompetence or factional rivalries that could undermine PLA readiness.  The campaign has intensified in 2025-2026, affecting nearly the entire top echelon of the CMC—China’s highest military decision-making body, chaired by Xi himself—leaving it in significant disarray  War/Peace Report: Iran's Khamenei Flees to ‘Fortified' Bunker, Fearing U.S. Strike Following rising concerns over a possible U.S. military strike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has relocated to a heavily fortified underground compound in Tehran, according to reports, which cited sources close to the regime who revealed his son now oversees day-to-day operations.

Economy Trump’s Tariffs Are Sinking The Eurozone  German trade surpluses are shrinking, with 2025 exports to the US projected down 7% and overall trade surplus far below 2024 levels. Structural challenges—especially Chinese competition in automotive—compound short-term pressures, threatening Germany’s role as Eurozone anchor. A German recession risks Eurozone-wide contagion, potential ECB stimulus, and euro depreciation, clouding the outlook for 2026. Since tariffs stepped in, the Eurozone has struggled with exports and hasn’t even retaliated to them. A passive approach that shows off all its weaknesses and, above all, is sinking the economy of its major member: Germany. Germany was already stuck with a negative GDP growth before tariffs, but the latter are acting as a final blow for the third economy in the world. A couple of weeks ago I pointed out the main risks that concern Japan (the fourth economy in the world); now it is time to assess the shape of the German economy. How tariffs are hitting Germany Germany's total exports in 2024 amounted to $1.63 trillion, and 11% of these goods were exported to the US, the main trading partner. Just this data says a lot; in fact, Germany used to rely on the US to generate billions and billions of trade surpluses. A sort of Chinese approach, but at a lower scale. Now, almost every European good exported to the US is subject to a 15% tariff, which is making German goods less convenient for US companies. We know that the latter pay most of the tariffs, and this means bearing higher costs of goods sold, therefore lower profits. Companies don't like to reduce their net profit margin, so it is not a surprise they are looking around to find new trading partners. On top of this significant issue, the currency fluctuations are adding further pressure on German exports..

The petition outlines explosive allegations regarding Sheriff McFadden's conduct over House Bill 10, a controversial state law mandating cooperation between local sheriffs and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Rep. Cunningham, a fellow Democrat who provided a critical vote to override the Governor's veto of the bill, alleges McFadden threatened her safety to influence her vote. According to the petition, McFadden told Cunningham that if she continued to support the bill, the “people of Mecklenburg County would ‘come after' her.” The filing claims McFadden added, “I don't want to see you get hurt. You live in my county.” Cunningham described the interaction as “akin to a mafia boss demanding money by saying ‘nice little store you've got there; it would be a shame if anything happened to it.’”   District Attorney Merriweather confirmed he has asked the SBI's Professional Standards Unit to investigate the claims before his office decides whether to proceed with the removal petition. The DA's letter to the SBI specifically requests an investigation into: Extortion and bribery. Economic threats made to influence legislation.

Brilliant Restitution Plan – President Trump Announces Interim Venezuela Oil Payment of $2 Billion  This is way beyond winning, this is stunningly brilliant strategy.  Not only has President Trump successfully apprehended Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro, but the remaining interim government officials have acquiesced to fund a civil restitution plan to pay for their malfeasance. The government that stole from its people is being forced to pay restitution for their own fraud, abuse and misconduct. [SOURCE] The 30 to 50 million barrels of oil is approximately a $2 billion self-created reconstruction effort. Compare and contrast this approach with the trillions of U.S. taxpayer funds that were used in the failed efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etcetera….  or even Kuwait, albeit the Kuwaiti's offered, but prior U.S. leadership chose influence over restitution. In this example, almost immediately the funds now in the control of President Trump can be deployed to the greater benefit of the Venezuelan people. Another way to look at this is like a type of ‘sovereign wealth fund' created by the corrupt Venezuelan officials, using the resources that belong to the Venezuelan people, to support the interim needs of the same citizens they victimized. Well done President Trump and Secretary Rubio! Source: theconservativetreehouse.com   The second phase will be a phase that we call recovery. And that is ensuring that American, western, and other companies have access to the Venezuelan market in a way that’s fair, also at the same time, begin to create the process of reconciliation nationally, within Venezuela, so that the opposition forces can be amnestied and released from prisons, and brought back to the country, and begin to rebuild civil society. And then the third phase, is of course will be one of transition. Some of this will overlap. I’ve described this to them (Venezuela) in great detail. We’ll have more detail in the days to follow.
