Hello everybody. This is Gerald Celente and it's Thursday, March 26th, 2026. Yeah. And here are some of today's Trends in the News. Remember, the trend is your friend and you can't get it anywhere, any place, but the Trends Journal. Or you could go to the Wall Journal or the toilet paper record.

So, subscribe to the Trends Journal because the more subscribers we have, the more we can do to change the world in a positive place.

The media that get paid to put out by their corporate pimps and government war masters. We give you the facts. Nobody gives you trends. They don't know how to do it. Anyway, the markets. What happened today? Let's see. Oh, the Dow was down uh 450 points. Pressured by uh rising oil prices and doubts over Iran negotiations. Oh, that was then. What happened? Well, the S&P, yeah, it was down only 1.74%. And the Nasdaq was down only about 2. 38%. Oh, it's in correction territory, down more than 10% from its high. Correction territory, all right? 10 more down, it goes into bear territory. The Dow, ah, it was only down almost my 469 points. Brent crude, up, up, up, up. 5.66% $108 a barrel. Yep. Speaking about the recent performance in oil prices, President Donald Trump says he thinks the surge as well as the prices seen in the broader markets was not as bad as he expected. It's all going to come back down to where it was probably lower, he said regarding oil. You know what that is. Warning. Warning. alert. It's Trump Get rid of the word Anyway, earlier today Trump said on Truth Social Truth Social Lie Social post that Iran, you ready? Better get serious soon before it's too late. Because once that happens there's no in all craps turning back. And it won't be pretty. He also labeled Iran negotiators as very difficult and quote strange. Oh, yeah. Hey, Gary Kushner, he ain't strange. JERK OFF WOOD HEY, HE ain't strange. THEY'RE STRANGE. CLAIMING, YOU READY? They were quote begging the US to make a deal and end the now four-week war. Again, more presidential reality show That was That was Trump All right. Now that's when the markets was still open. Just I went on the air now. Headline. Trump says talks with Iran going very well. Pushes off ultimatum until April 6th. The markets are going down. GOLD IS GOING DOWN. HOW MANY TIMES CAN HE DO THIS IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY'S EYES?

Trump says everything's been knocked out in Iran. Yep. Oh, that was March 3rd. President Donald Trump said that the Israeli strikes and US strikes, quote, had knocked out most of Iran's military. Yep. Just about everything's been knocked out. They have no navy, it's been knocked out. They have no air force, it's been knocked out. They have no air detection, it's been knocked out. Their radar's been knocked out. Yep. And again, back then he said, "Based on the way the negotiation was going, I think Iran were going to attack first and I didn't want that to happen. I think I think Oh, yeah. I think. I think like It's my opinion. As you said, shove your opinion up your ass. You don't start wars based on opinion. Show us the facts. All right? On Friday, President Donald Trump was asked by Fox News radio Brian Kilmeade when the war will end, to which President Trump said "When I feel it when I feel it in my bones." Could you Could you believe this It's Trump Yeah. March 15th. Today's the 26th. US officials predict quick end of to Iran war. All right? Yeah. President Donald Trump threatened more strikes on Iran's main oil export over the weekend and said he was not ready to strike a deal to end the war. We have never asked for a ceasefire and we've never asked for even negotiations. That's what That's what the Iranians said. Yeah. What else? Just giving you the facts here. March 14th. Now, remember, hit that like and subscribe to our videos cuz we're getting blacklisted and people don't like me, don't like my language. You know, off. You like killing people? Oh, so out of the news, the slaughter of the Palestinians in Gaza. Shh, don't talk about genocide, you anti-semite. Oh, only over bounced by 1.3 million. 1.3 million people have been thrown out of Lebanon by Israel. And they bomb the out of them. God gave them that land. It's in the good book, chapter 6, section 8. I forgot. Trump says many countries will send warships to Hormuz amid Iran blockade. Yep. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said nations, especially those affected by Iran's attempted closure of the strait, would be sending warships in conjunction with the United States of America to keep the straits open, naming China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom among those you know, who could contribute. All right? detected. Take precaution. Total lies, one after another, to regulate the the markets. You ready for this one? This is March 4th. Trump said any potential next leader of Iran just ends up dead. Their leadership is rapidly going. Anyone everyone that wants to be a leader ends up dead. The missiles are being wiped out rapidly. Oh, yeah? Oh, the missiles are being wiped out? No, they're not. It's bombs away over Israel, but you don't report that. Oh, and how about all those naval bases? And now they're saying the bases, not the naval, the the military bases that the US has in the Middle East, they're saying that they're they're working remotely, the soldiers, and they're in hotels. The leader, yep. The missiles The launches are being wiped out. Yep. The president said assaults in Iran will continue for up to four or five weeks. We've got one week left. Yep. It's a great display of military strength. Yep. Okay, onto the markets. Good news, again, they're doing this to bring the markets. US import prices rise by most in 4 years. What are you talking about? All right, I put down inflation. What are you talking about? Services led slow down in US business activity growth. Yep. One after another. Eurozone purchasing manager index falls to lowest level since May. Happy days are here again. This war is great. Great. Dubai's empty malls deal blow to luxury sector. The luxury sector is all going down already. It's in your Trends Journal. Week after week, month after month, year after year, we've been writing about this. And now you look what's going on here. Bloomingdale's fit sales fell 45%. Mall of the Emirates contains blah blah blah declined five 70 57%. One after another. Other thing down 60%. Yep. Tourism is saying tourism down they're losing $600 million a day. This thing is global the effects that it's doing. Energy prices soaring, people going broke, inflation going up. Hey, but we're going to we're going to we're going to end the war. Hey, how about Why did he say he was going to end the war? Was it April 10th? How about April 1st because it's April Fools' Day? It would be the perfect day you should have said it was going to end. April Fools' Day. This is CNBC. How the Iran war could crush US housing recovery. It's not just about mortgage rates. Yep. People's people are going down, man. Uh interest rates are going up. I'm going back to the markets. Bitcoin's flattening out at that 69 70 70,000 dollars a coin range. Gold is down today like 127 bucks and they're saying it's going down because inflation's going up. It's total That's not why it's going down. It's going down because people are pulling out of their markets the money out of the markets. They need the dough to cover their losses. End of story. Again, I began buying gold back in the uh late 1970s. You know what you you know what interest rates were back then? Like almost like 7%. Double to what they are now. No, inflation drives up gold prices. If they bring If they bring interest rates back to like, you know, 12 13 12%. Yeah, then you're going to start seeing then it becomes real because then people will invest in treasuries. But that ain't happening. And Trump ain't going to let that happen because he wants to see the equity markets go up. So, he's going to do everything he can to um Yeah. When gold was spiking, interest rates back in uh 1978, 6.7% 78, 79 December, 13.78. When it peaked at 150 dollars an ounce in January 1980, 13.82%. So, what's this about high interest rates now? Totally totally And then interest rates went up to over 19%. And that's what brought gold prices down. I bought 300 oz of gold back then. Had to sell most of it, you know. But anyway, that's when I began looking at the markets and what was going on. Recession odds climb on Wall Street as economy shows cracks beneath the surface. Cracks beneath the surface is right in front of your eyes. It's not stagflation, it's dragflation. Declining economic growth and rising inflation. And this is an article out of the uh New York Times. Young degree holders are facing grimest prospects for employment years. Yeah, no Tumbling gold prices, yep. Put This is what they say. Put Prices put Tumbling gold prices puts haven status in doubt. Now, they do do go on to admit over here that this guy was from the German bank said liquidating profitable bullion positions to cover margin calls. It's exactly what's going on. That's exactly what's going on. And governments that are going down as the economy going down, they're selling gold, too. We're very bullish on gold and and it's going and silver precious metals is the way. Lagarde says central bank ready to raise rates. Okay, raise rates as the economy's going down, it's going to bring it into dragflation cuz raising rates is not going to bring down inflation. Not when oil prices are spiking. And other prices are spiking because oil prices are spiking. Uh what's we went on the air a gallon of gas in the United States now is almost $4. Almost $4 a gallon. Hey, hey, go back to my State of the Union address, all right? $2.30 in most states. It wasn't, it was $2.92. But when Trump says $2.30, it's just another day of Trump level 5. This is hurting people. The prices are going up all along this is driving prices up like crazy. The worst is yet to come. Manufacturing is flat. All right, in survey. Yeah. Ares puts 5% cap on private credit fund redemptions. Ares Management has limited withdrawals from one of its marquee private credit funds. Pitched to wealthy individuals as redemptions surged 11.6% in the first quarter. The $623 billion investment group said it capped redemptions at 5%. I want my money back. I only get 5%, all right? All right? This is Financial Times, which by the way is on a one of the better newspapers out there for information, particularly in financial world. Bank plans platform for digital case use. The world is going digital, United States is going digital, from dirty cash to digital trash. They know everything you got. Hey, now we got a digital coin. It's worth a lot more money than than the dollars. So just got rid of Allied Debt Level. That now they're saying even Fortune came out with it. Like it's 143 trillion, not 39 or 38 trillion. Again, when you put social security and other government expenses in, we've been saying this for how many years. And one after another, the bigs are getting bigger. Berkshire to acquire a stake in Tokio Marine. Apollo agrees to acquire Nippon Sheet Sheet Glass. SK Hynix to buy $8 billion of Alibaba. Danyo to buy $1.2 billion from nutrition startup. Gilead nears $2 billion takeover of biotech. Trophy Assets Tiger sells IPL franchise to consortium. Only for $1.8 billion. Yep. Again, one after another, the bigs are getting bigger. The bigs are getting bigger. And everybody else is getting poorer. Merck buys cancer biotech for $5.7 billion. So, Trump again. "Iranian negotiators are very difficult and strange. They are begging us to make a deal." This is today before he came out with the tonight. "Which they should be doing since they have been military obliterated. Total lie with zero chance to come back. Total lie. And yet they publicly state they are only looking at our proposal." All quotes. Wrong. They better get serious soon before it's too late because once that they uh they get they have no turning back. It won't be pretty. All right? Lies like right in front of your eyes. Now we say we're making a deal. We'll give them to April 10th. They're doing this to prop up the markets. Iran is not going to make a deal unless they get what they want. And again, the details of what they want are in the Trends Journal. They want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by us, Trump said. Again, more Trump You ready? This is from Press TV today. He said all their missiles are destroyed. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard has announced the launch of the 82nd wave of retaliatory operations against invading US Israeli coalition using different types of missiles and drones. All right? So, who's lying? Who's lying? Iran military leaders brush aside Trump's deal claim. That was yesterday. Yep. Remember this one? Oh, come on now. That ain't even That's horse Well, you decide. This is Trump on March 7th. President Trump declared Friday that there was, quote, no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender, all in caps. All right? That Oh, that was That was March 7th. What uh almost 3 weeks ago? NATO chief route rousts Europe by backing Trump over war. This little arrogant piece of scum a little arrogant scumbag. Yep. The NATO general secretary general. Hey, face, go over there and fight. GO OVER THERE AND FIGHT. YOU. I'M NOT GOING TO FIGHT. WE'LL SEND other people to go fight. Yep. He said, "Trump is only doing what he he is doing this to make the world safe." Could you believe it? It's only logical that European countries take a couple of weeks to come together. Yep. Power grid hit would be war crime, experts say. When Trump said last Saturday that if they didn't make a deal within 48 hours, if Trump doesn't fully open without if if Iran doesn't fully open with a without threat, the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from the exact point of this time, the United States will have hit, obliterate their various power plants. Power plants starting with the biggest one first. Those are all in caps. All right? A total lie. He said, "If Iran doesn't fully open without threat, the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this exact point of time." That was Saturday. And then he lied. "I've given them five more days. Now we're going to give them 10 more days. All right? All right? So shut up and let the Yep. Human Rights Watch said that this is uh that this is a uh It's it's It's a war crime. Because you'd be spreading poison all over the place. And they say Trump is openly threatening a war crime, said Kenneth Roth, a former executive director of Human Rights Watch. And people aren't saying anything because they're numb to it. 100% correct. People lost all their balls. And then 82,000 civilian units damaged or destroyed by US Israeli strikes. The Iran uh Red Crescent Society said Tuesday that the US and Israeli strikes have damaged or destroyed more than 82,000 civilian units in Iran. 1,500 civilians have been killed. And the strikes hit energy infrastructure. Oh, poison. But that's okay. Israel used white phosphorus to scorch earth in South Lebanon, researchers say. Right? Scorched earth, poison. Nobody cares. Yep. Show white phosphorus munitions exploding over southern Lebanon. Killed over a million uh is over a million people have been forced to leave. Israel plans to control part of South Lebanon.
