Macroeconomics
Four of the G7 countries (France, Germany, Canada, and possibly the UK rejoining soon) are experiencing government turnovers due to budget crises. One of the countries is expected to experience a bond auction failure by 2025. By the end of 2025, most G7 countries will be governed by conservative governments.
Trump will formulate a new global currency framework, similar to the 1985 Plaza Accord. This framework will gradually drive a significant devaluation of the US dollar, which will facilitate the return of manufacturing to the US and direct liquidity towards the US market and high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.
Inflation rates are expected to be between 2.5%-3.3%, and the Federal Reserve will significantly lower interest rates to address the weakness in the job market.
Major global armed conflicts are expected to end in the first half of 2025, followed by an optimistic era of peace and security.

At least one major US city (possibly Chicago) will face a bankruptcy crisis.
