Hello, everybody. This is Gerald Celente and it’s Thursday, June 12, 2025. We’re giving you what nobody alive has given you. Trends in the news. The trend is your friend. Can’t get it anywhere else, any place, anyhow. Of course, you can get it by subscribing to the Trends Journal. A grand total of $2.59 a week. And again, no trends. They don’t know how to do it. It’s a fact. Anyway, let’s see what’s going on. On to the markets. Let’s see the 2% of its record. So it’s back up there. The NASDAQ up 0.24%.

Dow up a little over 100 points. So according to CNBC, stocks also rose after investors got another batch of data hinting at a solid economy that may produce a price index. It rose only 0.1%. That’s after decreasing 0.2% in April. They were looking for a 0.2% increase this month. And what else? President Donald Trump’s unilateral tariff threat seemed to be keeping the market’s gains in check. Wall Street awaits further developments on trade policy, especially between U.S. and China. And Trump said yesterday that he would extend to July 8th deadline for finishing trade talks.

Why not July 9th? How about July 10th? What about July 6th? How about let’s make it up So anyway, that’s what’s going on. And Earl, Earl went up almost 70 bucks a barrel now. Because we’re going to get to why is the Iran war heating up as the United States and Israel keep ramping up the tax against Iran. And as I’ve been saying for a long time, and we’ve been writing in the Trends Journal, should the United States and or Israel go to war against Iran, you’re going to run $120 a barrel.

It’s going to crash the equity markets in the global economy. You got crazy people in charge. And then Bitcoin, it’s down about two and a half percent today, about 106 K a coin, but still way up there. And gold, whoo, up 30 bucks today. It was as high as 3,400 bucks. But let’s see what it closed at. 3,384 dollars an ounce. So again, your Trends Journal, we said 2024 would be a golden year for gold. It went up almost 30%. Now it’s up almost about 27, 28%. Gold proves its mettle by taking euro’s title as world’s number two reserve asset.

That’s the headline in the Financial Times. Who told you the Trends Journal? This is just the beginning. The world’s going to shit because it got shitheads running the show. Oh, U.S. budget deficit hits 316 billion dollars in May with an annual shortfall of 14% from a year ago. Let’s see, the deficit total more than 316 billion for the month, taking the year-to-year date total to 1.36 trillion. The annual tally was 14% higher than a year ago. Yep. Let’s see. Surging financial course for, again, the major contributor fiscal issues. That’s right. So Trump is going to have the lower interest rates.

You can bet on. You can bet on. And again, the lower interest rates go the deeper the dollar falls. The deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go. And again, the death of the dollar is on the doorstep. Inflation up slightly, yep. Tariff and blah, blah, blah. But again, this is a temporary down on inflation. We see more inflation. They started buying up a lot of stuff with all the tariffs and people are spending less money. So that’s why prices aren’t going up that high, but they’re going to go up. And again, companies, you know, they hoarded important goods when Trump started talking this tariff stuff.

So this is a temporary, but they’re not going to go up as high as they were before. City to increase provisions of bad loans amid signs of stress. That’s right. We’ve been writing about this in the trends journal. The stress signs are big, particularly in the commercial real estate sector in the office buildings. No one’s talking about it. It’s going to happen. And this is the year it’ll probably happen. Zara parent sales undershoot analyst estimates. No shit. Victoria’s secret outlet outlook misses zeros. No kidding. And on the luxury end each week in the trends journal, we’ve been showing a decline in luxury sales.

So from top to bottom, it’s going down. And again, the fish rots from the head down and we got a lot of rotten fish at the head. Hey, you ready for this? Meta seeks higher IQ for its AI, higher IQ. Yup. Lorel taps Nvidia tech to supercharge AI efforts. The French beauty giant and its partner ecosystem will use Nvidia’s AI enterprise platform to make ads. AI is it. Yup. New Google AI tool bruises news sites. This is from the Wall Street Journal. The AI Armageddon is here for online news publishers. Chat box are replacing Google searches, eliminating the need to click on the blue links and tanking referrals to news sites.

There’s a sin side cut about 21% of its staff last month on and on. They’re people numbers going down to their sites down like the number of sites they mentioned down 50, 60, 70%. It’s AI is taken over. Love it. Hate it. It’s the world. And remember, the Chinese are going to be leading the charge and that’s going to bring down the over investment in AI companies in the United States. Dot com bust 2.0 is coming this year. Yeah, this company says it out loud. It wants AI to take your job. Yeah. Who’s this? Years ago when I started writing about Silicon Valley’s efforts to replace workers with artificial intelligence, most of the executives at least had the decency to lie about it.

But now we’re making bigger. We have articles in your trends journal week after week. Brown and brown to acquire a session. The pigs keep getting bigger. And all we become a plantation workers of slave land here. Now is talking before about Earl Price is going up. Yep. Israel is fully ready to launch a strike on Iran weighing unilateral action. Massad chief to meet Trump and boy, Whitcock. This is the headline in a hot it’s Israeli newspaper. Trump says he doesn’t want Israel to attack Iran, but a strike could well happen. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, Trump said.

Other than that, wait a minute. It got song. It’s all right for Israel to have nuclear weapons. It’s a right for America to have nuclear weapons. Pakistan and the all the other countries. Why can’t Iran have? Who the fuck are you to say what they should have? And if I was leader of Iran, that’s exactly what I say to show the fuck you talking to. You’re going to fuck with me. Get this in your head. Attack Iran. We’re going to attack you. Yep. Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. Other than that, I want them to be successful.

We’ll trade with them. Trump won Thursday for the possibility of a massive conflict in the Middle East that could quote, take place soon. I don’t want to say imminent, but it’s something that could very well happen. Trump told reporters today. This is serious and no outrage. None. When you’re ready, Iran warns it will react, quote, strongly to potential strategic mistake by E3. Iran’s foreign minister has issued a stern warning to the three European signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal, commonly known as E3, accusing them of failure to fulfill their obligation and cautioning against further strategic mistakes.

Yep. Yeah. So they say if they get attacked, Iran warns it will hit U.S. bases in the region if U.S. launches an attack. This is going to be World War three. It’s already begun. It’s going to make it official. But the big news is the plane crashed. Yeah, yeah, I understand. Yeah. Israeli forces kill 103 Palestinians in Gaza in the last 24 hours, including 21 aid seekers. Yep. Yeah, nice. Bombing the hell out of it in front of everybody’s eyes, genocide in front of everybody’s eyes and you call it out, you’re condemned. What else? Ah, Russia launches third night of massive strikes.

Ukraine deploys AI in drone warfare to destroy Russia’s strategic bonds. Those are two headlines from Financial Times. And then from RT, Russia has world’s most advanced nuclear weapons, Putin. Yep. Yeah, the hypersonic weapons, the most advanced weapons there that technologically they lead the world in military armaments. Russia presses Ukraine gains to discourage West. An article in the Wall Street Journal about more land that Russia is taking as this war continues. They’re not going to give it back. And as we write the trends journal week after week after week, more European countries spending trillions of dollars to build up their defense.

And what do we have here? Canada commits billions in defense to meet NATO target. Oh, your economy’s going down. Unemployment’s rising. Businesses are going out of business, but we’re going to build out with the fence. You got the Carnegie, Connie carnival clown. Yeah. Connie Canary, another arrogant boy, like all of them. They got really true dope. What’s true dope doing now? Yep. This is serious stuff. Russia launches third night of massive strikes. Ukraine deploys they are drawn yet. This is ramping up. It’s ramping up. Not you’re not allowed to talk about peace.

Not a person out there. Pakistan to increase defense spending by 17%. Although they were fighting India, right? Oh, their economy’s going to shit, but they’re spending 17% more to build up their defense. This is an article in the New York Times today or yesterday. Trump’s family project in Serbia leads to outcry and a charge. Yeah, this boy son of a Jerry Kushner doing a deal over there. Again, as George Collins said, it’s one big club and you ain’t in it. So listen, you’re not going to want to miss next Tuesday and Wednesday. We’re going to be doing a round table.

Dennis Kucinich is going to be here. Carlin Nixon, Joe, Lori, Scott, rid of myself. Yeah. Next Tuesday. And on Wednesday, we’re gonna be doing a live broadcast to ST Petersburg, Russia. We’re going to have about 50, 60 people here. They’re going to have about 50, 60 people there, and they’re going to keep asking questions back and forth, the regular people to what’s going on, what they think about it and where they see it going. Nothing like it. Nothing like it. So don’t forget Wednesday and Tuesday and yesterday with Cilenti and the judge.

Yeah, the judge calls her like nobody else. That’s my man for president. If he was president of the United States, this would be a different country because he’s a man that honors what the politicians don’t. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which was our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And now we have the Bill of No Rights. So thanks for tuning in. We’ll see you soon. [tr:trw].
