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.
