March 13, 2026 | AI’s Power Hunger
The biggest constraint on artificial intelligence is not chips, software, or capital. It is electricity. Now the tech giants are finally admitting it. Seven major companies, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI, have signed a pledge committing to supply or finance their own power generation for the massive AI data centers […]
March 12, 2026 | US Inflation Looks Tame for Now — But That May Not Last
The latest CPI report for February 2026 came in largely as expected, and, on the surface, Washington will likely celebrate the numbers. Consumer prices rose 0.3% for the month and 2.4% year-over-year. Core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 0.2% for the month and is running at 2.5% annually. By the standards of the […]
March 11, 2026 | Canada’s Housing Crisis Shows the Consequences of the Easy Money Era
Canada’s housing market has become one of the most expensive in the developed world, and the affordability crisis continues to worsen despite rising interest rates. Mortgage payments as a share of household income are now near record levels, leaving many first-time buyers completely priced out of the market while existing homeowners face significantly higher borrowing […]
March 10, 2026 | Subcutaneous Microchip Mandates
There was a time when warnings about governments embedding identification technology directly into the human body would have sounded like something from George Orwell rather than a public policy debate. Yet here we are. Washington State is now considering legislation to prohibit employers from forcing workers to accept subcutaneous microchip implants. The fact that […]
March 9, 2026 | Canada and Europe Strengthen Trade Ties as Global Economy Fragments
Canada and the European Union agreed to modernize their existing trade agreement while launching negotiations for a new digital trade pact. On the surface, this appears to be another routine trade update between two long-standing partners. In reality, it reflects a much deeper shift underway in the global economy as nations begin quietly restructuring trade […]
March 6, 2026 | Existing US Home Sales Collapse Despite Falling Mortgage Rates
Existing home sales just delivered one of the clearest signals yet about the true state of the housing market in 2026, and it is not the rebound narrative the mainstream keeps promoting. The latest data shows that existing-home sales fell 8.4% in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of just 3.91 million […]
March 5, 2026 | Europe Is Building a Digital Identity System for 450 Million People
The European Union is quietly constructing what may become one of the most sweeping digital identity systems ever attempted. Under new legislation, every EU member state must provide citizens with a government-approved “European Digital Identity Wallet” by 2026. This system will allow people to store official documents, verify identity, access government services, sign legal contracts, […]
March 4, 2026 | Great Nations Do Not Fight Endless Wars
“Great nations do not fight endless wars,” Donald Trump said during his campaign when highlighting his “Americas First” message. Trump explicitly promised to maintain peace and keep American troops out of foreign wars. American blood has been shed in the Middle East once more amid Operation Epic Fury. Could this escalating war cause MAGA […]
March 3, 2026 | Iranians Divided Over Regime Change
The Western press is desperately trying to frame the Iranian people as either celebrating liberation or rallying behind their government. As always, the truth is far more complex. The Iranian population is deeply divided, and that division is precisely what unfolds when an external military strike hits a nation already suffering from internal political and […]
March 2, 2026 | Will Mortgage Rates Crash and Spur a Real Estate Boom?
Everyone keeps asking if mortgage rates will collapse in 2026 as if the entire real estate market revolves around the Federal Reserve pulling a lever. That is simply not how the system actually functions. Mortgage rates are tied to long-term capital flows and the 10-year yield, not just whatever the Fed does at the […]
February 28, 2026 | US & Israel vs Iran
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, you pointed out previously that Zelensky was a war criminal for targeting leaders in Russia. You wrote: “Zelensky is a war criminal based on the Rules of War and Geneva. Whether the car bomb is perfidious depends entirely on the method used to get the bomb to the target. Perfidy (Treachery) is strictly prohibited under Article 37 of the Geneva […]
February 27, 2026 | WEF President Resigns Over Epstein Ties
The resignation of World Economic Forum President Borge Brende is being framed in the press as a simple leadership transition, but the underlying issue is far more revealing about the crisis of confidence now unfolding within global institutions. Brende stepped down after his past contacts with Jeffrey Epstein came to light. According to reports, the […]
February 26, 2026 | American Voters Favor Trump over the Democratic Part
Americans “still trust Trump more than the Democrats — and in every category,” according to an ABC poll. The joke used in the piece is actually very telling: in politics, you do not need to outrun the lion, you just need to outrun the other candidate. That is a far more accurate description of […]
February 24, 2026 | United Nations Moves to Censor the Internet
The United Nations is now openly discussing “coordinated global action” to combat what it defines as disinformation and hate speech online, and this should not be dismissed as some abstract policy debate. This is a structural shift toward the internationalization of speech regulation, and that carries profound political and economic implications. The […]
February 23, 2026 | Will Iran be Their Proxy War Against USA?
There is a deep division within the Trump Administration with a pro war and anti-war groups. The anti-war group are VP Vance and Tulsi Gabbard. The pro war group are Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and theemdless war moner Senator Lindsey Graham. Both Israel and the Neocons are consistently pushing for US action, […]
February 21, 2026 | Trump’s Tariffs & The New Risk Ahead
QUESTION: I just saw you on Russia Today explaining the Supreme Court decision. You said this will have a psychological impact on Trump internationally. Would you elaborate? GR PS. I agree it is strange how you will appear on TV in Asia and Europe even in Russia but not in America. ANSWER: President Trump […]
February 20, 2026 | Canada to Provide Express Entry to Trained Foreign Military Personnel
I have warned many times that immigration policy is increasingly being shaped by political ideology rather than long-term social cohesion and economic stability. The report that Canada is considering an express entry pathway for highly trained foreign military personnel raises very serious questions that go far beyond labor shortages or skills-based immigration. When […]
February 19, 2026 | US Home Buyers Shift from Luxury to Practicality
Zillow is now openly acknowledging a shift in the US housing market that most analysts are still refusing to properly interpret. They are framing it as a “trend change” in homebuyer preferences toward smaller, adaptable, and more functional homes rather than large status properties, but this is not a lifestyle trend. It is an economic […]
February 18, 2026 | Canada Completes Construction of Nuclear Power Plant
What you are looking at with Canada completing the roughly $9.4 billion Darlington nuclear refurbishment early and under budget is something that completely contradicts the prevailing political narrative about energy policy in the West. The final 878-MW unit is now preparing to return to commercial operation, marking the end of a decade-long rebuild of […]
February 17, 2026 | Kim Jung-Un Names Successor
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service has reported that Kim Ju-ae, the daughter of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, is now in the “successor nomination stage,” a phrase indicating not just symbolic visibility but active internal positioning as the next leader. This marks the clearest signal yet that Pyongyang is preparing for a fourth-generation transfer of […]
February 16, 2026 | The Euro vs Dollar
QUESTION: Marty, you said that the euro would first rise against the dollar and that would lead to a wave of deflation in Europe. Are we close to the reversal in this trend that you said would be the second half of 2026? FD ANSWER: The philosophy between the US and Europe when it comes to currency […]
February 14, 2026 | Crashing Gold and Silver Prices — How Long Will It Last?
What if the economy wasn’t chaotic at all-but followed a hidden code? The Armstrong Economic Code reveals the powerful cyclical patterns discovered by legendary forecaster Martin A. Armstrong, whose Economic Confidence Model (ECM) has predicted every major boom, bust, and geopolitical shift for more than four decades. Compiled and expanded by Kerry Lutz, host of the […]
February 13, 2026 | EU Bankers Call for Visa and Mastercard Alternative
According to ECB data cited by the Financial Times, American firms Visa and Mastercard now account for nearly two-thirds of all card transactions in the eurozone, while 13 EU countries have no national card schemes. Now, EU officials have issued a warning that an alternative medium must be deployed to counter US interference. As […]
February 12, 2026 | EPA to Repeal Greenhouse Gas Regulations
The Environmental Protection Agency under the Trump administration is on the verge of repealing the 2009 “endangerment finding” that formed the legal and scientific basis for regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. That finding, first issued early in the Obama administration, concluded that carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases “may reasonably […]
February 10, 2026 | Dow to 100K?
Donald Trump recently stated that the Dow could reach 100,000 by the end of his presidency, and the usual crowd immediately rushed to either cheer or ridicule the statement without understanding why such a number is even possible. The problem with modern analysis is that it assumes markets rise because governments are doing something right. […]
