Markets did not move on charts alone this week. They moved on politics, speeches and power.

From a weak open across US indices to a sharp midweek reversal triggered by Trump’s Davos comments, this episode breaks down how political influence continues to dictate short term and medium term market direction.

We unpack the ongoing sell America trade as bond yields rise despite strong equity performance, what central bank buying means for gold’s long term bull case, and why silver’s explosive move is being driven by industrial demand rather than speculation.

The conversation also zooms out to geopolitics and economic warfare, from rare earth minerals and EV dominance to trade tariffs that shock markets before quietly fading into reversals.

Closer to home, we discuss developments in Kenya’s capital markets, banking sector consolidation, and why foreign bank entry could reshape liquidity and currency stability.

This episode is a reminder that traders who ignore politics, central banks and global liquidity are trading blind.

Description - How does a university student with just $5, no mentorship, and zero trading experience turn into a profitable full-time trader in under six years? In this episode, we sit down with Eric Mutune, a self-taught trader who built his career from scratch, navigating market volatility, psychological hurdles, and real-world risk.

Eric’s journey begins at Chuka University studying Actuarial Science. Inspired by a classmate living a “baller-like” lifestyle through trading, he deposited $5 and made his first trade on GBP/JPY, turning a tiny investment into early profits. What followed was years of trial and error, demo accounts, account blow-ups, and relentless learning through peers and YouTube.                                                                                                                                           *For educational purposes only, Not financial advice.*

This episode brings four asset classes into direct confrontation as experienced traders : Rufas Kamau, Ahmed Abdi, Jesse Ogola and George FX mastery debate indices, forex, commodities, and crypto with brutal honesty about risk, volatility, and reward.

The conversation strips away hype to expose why indices favor stability and long-term compounding, forex rewards structure and disciplined consistency, commodities respond to real world supply shocks and geopolitics, and crypto delivers unmatched upside paired with equally extreme downside. From ownership and regulation to ease of entry, survivability, and the illusion of overnight wealth, the debate challenges common trading biases and forces a reassessment of what it truly means to master a market, concluding that success depends less on the asset class and more on education, risk management, and alignment with one’s goals and risk tolerance

What could shape the markets in 2026? In this New Year edition of Bullish Banter, Rufas and Jesse sit with Chris Dominic to unpack the major themes traders and investors are watching as the year begins, from shifting interest rate expectations and global risk headlines to the roles of gold, Bitcoin, AI infrastructure, and capital flows.

The conversation explores global market performance following 2025, commodities and metals, crypto adoption and regulation, Kenya’s markets and retail participation, and why understanding economic cycles matters more than chasing predictions.
