Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Robbert van Batenburg, Market Strategist at The Bear Traps Report and Wall Street veteran with more than 25 years of experience, about why he believes investors are underestimating the market risks surrounding the 2026 U.S. midterm elections and a potentially much bigger political and financial shift heading into 2028.
Van Batenburg explains why he expects Republicans to lose control of the House and potentially the Senate, how a Democratic victory could reshape fiscal policy, Treasury yields, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook, and why the risk of a Trump impeachment could create further market uncertainty. He also examines a political scenario that he believes could threaten the U.S. stock market bull run, undermine confidence in the dollar, and strengthen the case for gold, including his approximately $7,000 fair-value estimate.
Van Batenburg also discusses the potential for a U.S. debt ceiling showdown, the outlook for gold, silver, and Bitcoin, and why lower bond yields, growing solar demand, and changing government policies could create new investment opportunities even as political risks intensify.
In this episode:
- Why the 2026 midterms could reshape U.S. markets
- Trump's impeachment risk and the threat to the bull market
- Why gold could reach a $7,000 fair valuation
- The outlook for silver, Bitcoin, and investment opportunities
