Honoring Byron Wien: 10 Potential Surprises for 2026
About this episode
Mark Yusko returns with his highly anticipated "Around the World: 10 Surprises for 2026," opening with a Top‑Gun‑worthy flyby through the global macro landscape before diving straight into the turbulence ahead. He breaks down the forces that could define the year: the K‑shaped economy, AI's outsized impact on GDP, the global debt bomb, the unraveling yen carry trade, Europe's political tightrope, China's long‑game positioning, and the next phase of Bitcoin's four‑year cycle. Mark explains why the risks everyone obsesses over often aren't the ones that matter, and where real opportunity tends to emerge when liquidity, psychology, and policy collide. As Viper reminds us, "A good pilot evaluates what's happened… so he can apply what he's learned."
