Hello, everybody. This is Gerald Celente and it’s Tuesday, December 30, 2025. Heading to a 2026. And here are some of today’s trends in the news. Yep, the trend is your friend. No magazine this week, taking a little Christmas break, but we’re giving you everything we can and wild times out there. He’s on the markets today. Let’s see. The S&P 500 down a little bit. Third consecutive losing session in a row. Didn’t lose a lot, only down 0.14%. NASDAQ down about 0.24%. And the Dow lost almost 100 points. So, you know, the Nvidia stock dropped 1%.

Planeteer technologies fell 2.41%, but, you know, nothing of danger. And Brent Crude was down $0.06, selling at $6,184 a barrel. Bitcoin up nearly $1,000. Still strong in that $88,000 per coin range. Gold not up a lot, only up $14, trading as we go on the air at $4,345 per ounce. It was up to $4,404 an ounce today, but slipped back and it’s down about $200 from its high. Silver up $4 today, trading at $76.24 it hit what? $80 an ounce on Monday and everything had a big reversal. Again, nothing goes straight up or straight down.

We’re still very bullish on it. And what happened Monday was the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. They raised the margin of requirements on silver futures. So that changed a lot of things really quick, but it’s going back up. And again, we’re bullish on this. And there’s this article, they write that nearly 60% of all silver is used in industrial applications, according to the Silver Institute. Yeah, we’ve been saying this. And, you know, gold’s up what? Well, over 60% this year. The silver, about 150%. Now, doing a lot better than the equity markets. Bloomberg, the article at the big banks and the boutique investment shops and optimistic consensus has taken hold.

The US stock market will rally in 2026 for this fourth straight year, making the longest winning streak in nearly two decades, pumped up on bullshit. But they don’t say that part. And the S&P, it’s up 90% since it hit a low in 2022. How much did silver go up? How much gold? The pessimists have just been wrong for so long that people are kind of tired of that shtick, said Ed Yardini. And one after another, they’re all saying that it’s going to be another big year. We disagree. This is a article from the Financial Times today.

US stocks eclipsed by rest of the world as Trump policies and tech fears take toll. US stocks have been eclipsed by markets gains in the rest of the world in 2025. The S&P was up 17% this year, undershooting the 29% gain to the MSICI all country world, XUS index, by the widest margin since the global financial crisis in 2009. Oh yeah, the panic of 08 that we had forecast took out the domain name in 2007. So they’re all saying that it’s going to be a boom year. But when you’re looking at the data, online accounting exams scrapped as AI aided cheating gets harder to detect.

We’re mentioning this because it’s going AI. This is important. The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which has 257,900 members, will end online exams for March requiring candidates to sit assessments in person, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Remote invigilation was introduced during the pandemic, which allowed students to continue to qualify into the profession during the lockdown. But now artificial intelligence has made cheating more difficult to combat. The world is going AI. It’s a whole different trip. And AI groups’ data center debt deals raise concern. Financial Times, I got to tell you, all of the business newspapers, the Financial Times, way, way beyond The Wall Street Journal and the toilet paper record, there’s nothing that comes close to it as we see it.

And again, you think for yourself and they go AI groups’ data center, right? So they’re spending all this dough and they’re saying there’s not going to be a bust, right? And you look at the data and it’s quite outstanding of how much debt there is. Article in The Wall Street Journal. See it? US has the lead in China, but China is gaining. No shit. How long did we say this? China’s going to lead the world in AI. You read the article, nothing really to write home about. Big US lenders add $600 billion in value during rollback of rules.

They’re going deeper and deeper in lending out more money as they’re cutting back the rules. There’s going to be a banking bust. AI boom adds $500 billion to net worth to US tycoons. Isn’t that nice? US typhoons, tycoons, got zones, scumbags who give shit back to the world. Yeah, once in a part of time is the Carnegie’s or they had the libraries they created in America. Yeah, they don’t give shit back tycoons. Wealthy Americans made use of tracking apps to avoid huge tax hits in festive season. Again, how the rich keep getting richer, how they keep fucking over us, but we got to pay our taxes every penny.

Oh, it’s the big deal that Trump gives the big. Oh, yeah. Hey, the rich don’t have to pay anything. You got to pay more. Yeah. Yeah. This is the terra paper record. Look at this. Look at this fucking picture. Look at this stupid fucking picture. All right. But the article, big check is getting what it wants. President Trump has back policies that allow the industry to grow unfettered. Yeah. As they fuck over us unfettered. Yeah. What’s it called? The merger of state and corporate powers? What’s one of your covers of your trends journal about fascism, fascism, the merger of state and corporate powers? You got it.

Yeah. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this stupid fucking picture in here. Terra paper, closer look at the new billionaires of the AI boom. It’s a phony fucking boom. It’s going to bust. It’s going to be winning a top trends of 2026 dot com bust 2.0. And again, they look like shit and give shit back to the world. What’s your language, selenchi? Fuck off. All right. Fuck off. Get your fucking comments that you don’t like my language and shove it up your ass. I don’t like my money being stolen. You got it.

Yeah. How about capitalism? Fuck off. No more. The big zone, everything. No. Hey, shape growth sets Trump’s two America’s down diverging paths. Yep. Financial times. K shape. Yeah. Fuck shaped. You look at this stuff. They’re mentioning something what’s going on in Greenwich, Connecticut, which is really, you know, rich place and, and, and, um, Bridgeport. My buddies lived up in Bridgeport. I used to go there a lot and boat out there. And they, they quote this woman from Fairfields Counties Community Foundation said chronic homelessness. You ready? Had been virtually eliminated in the area about six years ago.

But since the pandemic, this is a quote, it has been quote, going gangbusters since the pandemic, since the mother fucking pricks. And I let’s say the other word locked down the country in a country near you. Remember what I said, when people lose everything and I’ll think that’s the lose, they lose it and they lost it. Nobody talks about how they fucked up the world by locking everybody down. Don’t forget the way your mask. Don’t forget the way your mask. Yeah. Everybody forgot about it. Everything changed since the COVID war. Everything. It’s a whole different world, but the bigs got bigger and the rich got richer by all the facts.

Scumbags, not a fucking penny for peace, not a fucking penny for peace from these pricks. And of course, I can’t say the other word. Anyway, you got it. What else? Bankruptcy saw as companies grapple with inflation. Yep. Bankruptcy saw, you know, with the bankruptcies, the smaller businesses are taking the bigger hit. Costly power bills spark outrage. Oh no. Hey, affordability. What the fuck you doing? Hey, I know who I am. Hey, I know who I am. My daddy left me half a billion dollars worth of real estate. All right. All right. I’m a Trump pump.

All right. All right. What affordability? Fuck you. Fuck you. I give everything to the rich people. Fuck you, you giddy. The energy department expects the U.S. average residential electricity rates to rise around 4% next year, following a nearly 5% increase this year. You got it. You got it. Yep. Middle East flotation hits five year low as oil weakens. Yep. Oil weakens is showing you it’s over. The global economy’s going down much, much more supply than demand. And what else do we have? Yeah, I mentioned this before. I mentioned it again. Global deal making hits 4.5 trillion dollars in second best year on record.

The bigs keep getting bigger. We all keep getting smaller and they own everything. Soft bank agrees to buy digital bridge for $4 billion in latest AI deal. AI, a few. Yep. And then Trump ramping up that war against Venezuela, bragging that he bombed the place. Oh, there’s the guy that sold himself as a peace candidate, remember? Yeah, piece of shit. Look at you covering your trends journal. It’s right there. Yep. Yep. Lying his way into office. Lying his way into office doesn’t give a shit about anything but himself. Anyway, what else we got here? Trump threatens military action if Iran rebuilds nuclear program.

Yep. Oh, he called Netanyahu a very strong man. Netanyahu and Trump pledged Middle East bloodbath will continue in 2026. This is from um, this is from World Socialist website. U.S. President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Speaking after the meeting, Trump declared that the U.S. quote, would wipe out any resistance in Gaza. Quote, if Iran is trying to build up again, we’ll knock the hell out of them. It will knock the hell out. What do you mean we? What to do? Do it. The Washington Post reported Monday that strikes against Iran were a major topic of discussion.

That’s nice. Yep. Trump claims Israel is complying with Gaza deal. Total bullshit. Total bullshit. Total bullshit. They’ve killed over 400 Palestinians since the so called cease fire. And let’s see. In January, Trump told reporters that the United States would quote, clean out Gaza’s 1.5 million people in February. This is when he’s with Netanyahu. He declared the United States would quote, take over and own the territory, leveling it to build quote, Riviera of the Middle East. And since the war began on October 23rd, over 71,000 Palestinians been killed, 20,000 children. And what else? Trump declared on Monday that quote, Israel has lived up to the plan 100%.

Total lie. They say that the military Israelis military has committed 969 cease fire violations over 80 days since the agreement took effect, killed 418 Palestinians, wounded over 1100. The violations include 289 incidents of direct gunfire on civilians, 455 shelling attacks on unarmed civilians. Yep. 54 military incursions in residential areas. And about the fuel trucks, hardly any of them coming in. Nothing’s going down. Defense minister Israel Katz has pledged Israel will never leave Gaza, but the bullshit that Israel’s 100% in support. Total lie. Total, total, total lie. Terrible numbers. Nobody cares.

Hardly any mention in the prostitute media of the West. And Israel. Military bases to expand in Lebanon. Yep. Satellite industry. This is according to antiwar.com show that five bases Israel constructed within Lebanese territory had been expanded and they’re fortifying them. Yep. Stealing more land. Nobody gives a shit. And what else? Ah, he’ve targeted Putin as, as state Moscow says. Hey, you elect me. I’m going to let you cram one 25 hours. All right. All right. And no, no peace deal is going to happen. Russia is not going to give back what they got.

Again, people have no idea the United States overthrow the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, Victoria Newlin, Jeffrey Pi, on and on. Anyway, but now what we said, and we’ve been warning, there’s going to be a false flag attack that’s going to ramp this war up. And this is the kind of thing that’s happening and it’s only going to get worse. If we don’t have peace on earth, it’s going to be hell on earth and no one is doing anything to make this happen. Yep. Here’s some of the Trump quotes I was looking for.

We want to have peace on earth all over. He said that on September 25th, when he was running for office, I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars. You lie in fucking shit. You’re lying, lying, lying right in front of everybody’s eyes. Oh, he said that on October 20th, 2024, when he’s running for president and now he’s going to knock the hell out of Venezuela after, excuse me, Iran. Oh, he’s bombing Venezuela, killing people in these boats. What, where, where’s the outrage? Where is the outrage and where are the fucking billionaires not doing the penny thing? If the billionaires put money into the piece, we’d have it.

Yep. I want immediate peace. He said that on January 20th, 2025. I’m moving quickly to end wars, settle conflicts, and restore the planet to peace. I want peace. Yep. Total, total, total, total, total lies. Again, it’s all there. The facts are there. Ramping up war. Trump threatens military action if Iran builds nuclear program. Trump warned that Iran would face military strikes should it seek to replenish ballistic missiles, which they say they’re not going to do. Yep. I hope they’re not trying to do it. Build it up again, because if they do, we’re going to have to, no choice but to quickly to eradicate that buildup.

Total lies. So there we got it. So again, golden silver prices went down. We’re still very bullish on it. We’re still bullish on the Bitcoin thing. Cause again, the Trump club is into it. You see the billionaires that are getting the whole, the whole deals there. So subscribe to the trends journal. Cause we’re giving you everything we can that nobody else has given you. There’s no, again, they just had the announcement of how many thousands of journalists were fired again this year, about 2,500, 4,500 last year journalism dead. All they do is they put these big, stupid pitches.

Yeah. Look at, look at the stupid, stupid fucking pitches, big dumb, stupid pitches. What paper is this? Yeah. The toilet paper. Yep. Yeah. Look, look, no journalism. Look at this stupid crap. Nothing, nothing, nothing. So we’re giving you everything we can support us cause we’re supporting you. So I have a happy new year. We’ll see you then. Bye. [tr:trw].
