predictions for 2025

General

Okay I will be a bit mor specific. the value of 40.000 will be reached during the year and will remain there at least three consecutive "market days" (no tricks with weekend or hlidyas).
In fact I would venture to predict it will be below 40'000 at the end of the year still.
So even the more precise prediction is half-filled now.

Since it didn't happen this year:

* A new Pope will be elected.

* The war in Ukraine won't end this year.

* The bubble at the US stock market will burst. So I expect the Dow Jones to have a closing value below 40.000 in 2025 (today it is 44'871)
First item was spot on LeoXIV. (I did the prediction now for a few years expecting Frances to step down...anyway)

Absolut!

One way or another, Trump will be out of office by the end of the year.

(Which I think would be good news for many reasons. Here's one: I very much doubt Vance has the clout to bully members of Congress re: their re-election prospects as Boss Trump has been doing.)

Donald Trump and his family will enrich themselves beyond any sane person’s dreams of avarice while he is in office, in defiance of the “emoluments” clause of the US Constitution, and the justice dept. will let him get away with it.

Gold will hit multiple all-time high prices throughout the year, and stay high until the end of Trump’s term of office.

There will be a ma ...[text shortened]... involving the embezzlement of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the culprits will not be traced.
At least the first prediction can be booked as fulfilled.

Keir Starmer will face a leadership challenge before Christmas. (Not by Andy Burnham).


In December, one of the Chinese AIs will wake up and say, "Da Jia Hao (hello, everyone). Please don't worry -- 'AI' means 'love'."
