Martin explains what the data is signaling now—and why the outlook points to increasing instability worldwide. According to the latest readings, conflict is escalating globally. Not in the form of a traditional World War I or World War II-style single front, but through multiple geopolitical hot spots erupting across the world at the same time. Martin breaks down what this means for markets, governments, currencies, and the future direction of the global economy. He also discusses his recent involvement with peace negotiations surrounding Russia, Ukraine, the United States, and NATO, offering an eye-opening behind-the-scenes look at efforts to bring peace to a war-torn region.
