To do so, they are draining their money reserves and increasing their loaning to money start-up 'hyperscalers' like OpenAI in the expectation that AI technology will be developed and embraced by businesses worldwide over the next years. This has developed an expanding financial bubble that might burst in 2026. If the returns on massive AI investments turn out to be lower than expected or declared, that would trigger a major stock exchange correction.

The United States has actually been called a 'K-shaped' economy.

Obviously, much of this increasing success is 'fictitious', ie based upon capital gains made in the stock exchange.

The EU and the UK now pay the greatest commercial and family electrical energy rates in the industrialized world.

In Latin America, the tidal turn to the right could continue in elections in Colombia, Peru and above all, in Brazil, where an aging Lula deals with possible defeat next October. Israel holds its basic election also in October, two years after the Israeli destruction of Gaza and its people.

It is possible that Trump will lose his Republican bulk in both the lower home and the Senate. That could cause the stopping of Trump's financial strategies and paradoxically likewise his 'prepare for peace' in Ukraine. In amount, economies will still broaden in 2026, if at a modest rate.
