*Real Vision Geopolitics TL;DR*

1. Geopolitics = Major Market Driver

According to Real Vision, markets are now heavily influenced by geopolitical factors—more than ever in this shifting global landscape.

2. US–EU Relations Cracking

It's not just Trump; future US policy will stay "America First." Europe is being forced toward greater independence in defense, energy, and trade.

3. Venezuela:

Not primarily about oil. It's more about the US signaling power and dominance in the Western Hemisphere. Global market impact remains limited.

4. Ukraine:

The war only ends if Putin or Zelenskyy compromises—but realistically, it's likely to drag on until 2026 or beyond.

5. Multipolar World:

Expect many small-scale conflicts, but a full-scale WW3 is unlikely. The world is fragmenting into competing blocs rather than unified globalization.

6. Populism in 2026:

Rising unemployment combined with AI and robotics advancements will fuel new waves of populist politics. (In essence: People risk being "discarded" when no longer economically needed.)

7. Big Signal:

Mexico choosing to align more closely with the North American bloc highlights a broader trend: The world is increasingly organized into regional blocks rather than a truly global system.

This aligns with ongoing Real Vision themes on geopolitics driving macro risks, institutional shifts, and long-term market volatility. Stay tuned for how these play into 2026 liquidity and asset cycles! 🚀
