In this week’s interview on RLA Radio, host Dennis Tubbergen spoke with Murray Gunn, a lead researcher for Elliott Wave International. Gunn discussed the Elliott Wave theory, which uses market patterns to predict future trends. He suggested that current indicators point to a significant drop in the World Stock Market index. Gunn also discussed the science of socionomics, which studies how social mood influences financial markets and political trends. He noted a shift towards far-right politics in Europe due to a negative social mood and predicted that China's negative social mood trend is reaching its extreme, which could lead to a positive trend in the next five years. However, this could also increase the risk of negative social actions from China in the near term.
