Trends This Week

Across America, from established restaurant chains to upstarts, bankruptcies are rising, locations are closings and profit margins are shrinking. Restaurant Chain CEOs blame it on everything from the deplorable election season dragging down the mood of the country to global geo-political tensions. “It’s the economy, stupid,” not the presidential elections or consumer uncertainty, that’s keeping people from eating out. More than a restaurant recession, it is a precursor of a national recession.

Want to talk war crimes? Want to remind the world about a dictator, a conqueror? Look around you. Look at the leaders around us who have led us down the path to endless wars. What hypocrisy to stir the Columbus controversy flames every October, while ignoring the death and destruction America's leaders and its allies have brought to the world.

Gerald Celente makes a powerful case for how Hillary Clinton supporters, and Liberals in general, are in a state of denial. They cannot see or admit how Democrats in power have festered war worldwide following the Bush years. And they're  aided and abetted by the Presstitute media. Elsewhere, he touches on why the price of Gold is tanking and what to expect next. And, he even ponders the supposed death of "partner dancing."

Global forecaster Gerald Celente discounts and explains why the notion that markets rise on the anticipation that a given presidential candidate can influence and even fix the economy. The campaigns, and especially the debates, are rich with attack lines and sound bites, but entirely void of solutions, ideas and the moral grounding necessary to reverse the downward spiral of the country.

Interest rates and presidential candidates:

The Fed and the Bank of Japan both meet today to discuss a potential rise in interest rates, the possibility of which is driving markets. Meanwhile, interest rates are at an all time low in the US and the restaurant recession is underway; a fact Obama and the fraudulent presstitutes do not want you to believe. Trump and Clinton continue to talk war on ISIS, a topic the press will not question the candidates on. Meanwhile, it's International Peace Day but military boots have recently hit the ground in Syria and not a word of peace is uttered among the war-hungry criminals we call politicians and journalists.

Coverage of Hillary Clinton's "cough," Donald Trump's  tweets and Matt Lauer’s widely-slammed handling of separate prime-time forums with the presidential candidates hammers home just how clueless and gutless the media are in holding these candidates accountable. The presstitutes have not the will, skill or stomach to ask real questions or demand real answers. The race is a reality show and the media are carnival barkers.

Populist movements - real populist movements, not the "pop" populism trumped in the U.S. - are building momentum across the globe.  Gerald Celente breaks down the reasons why and analyzes whether such movements can develop in America. He also explores how eight years of massive global central-bank quantitative easing and low-interest rate/cheap-money schemes have boosted equity markets, while dismal Gross Domestic Product, wage and productivity data prove central-bank policies have failed to generate true economic growth.

Trend forecaster Gerald Celente provides a "globalnomic" view of  what happens if/when the Federal Reserve hikes interest rates - especially to your bottom line. Celente examines how thew rigged market talk about interest rates affects gold, the strength of the dollar and more.

Global equity markets are spiking. Records are being broken. Why? Is it strong Gross Domestic Product increases among the world’s leading economies… the United States, China, Japan and eurozone nations that are driving the frenzy? Gerald Celente provides the fact-based context behind these economic trend lines. He also shares some thoughts on presidential candidate Donald Trump's stumbling campaign and how the media treat him vs. Hillary Clinton, especially CNN, the Clinton News Network.

Investors, not interested in buying negative-yielding bonds (guaranteed losses if held to maturity) and fearful of speculating in equity markets, have pushed gold prices up over 25 percent this year while pushing gold coin sales for the second quarter up 72 percent year to date. Global master forecaster Gerald Celente tells you why. Learn more at Trendsresearch.com
