I believe that specifically with the bill, Musk will not win. Musk demands absolutely recklessly cutting social spending (Answer to the question: "I think this will be decisive, will Musk manage to shake the Senate to not let the bill pass?" (One Big Beautiful Bill))

As for the oil price, since there is no scenario of blocking the Strait of Hormuz, I think the price isn’t under much threat — it will be a bit nervous, but then it will settle down

Translation:

The war between India and Pakistan — do you think it will have a strong impact on the global economy? Well, as things are going, I would venture to predict that they will exchange some strikes and won’t continue beyond that, because for both of them, an all-out war with each other would have colossal and devastating consequences

No. No, of course not (In response to the question: "Tell me, do you think Putin will come to Istanbul tomorrow or not?")

More than two years have passed, and there’s still no mobilization, nor is it planned—there’s no sign of it on the horizon for the coming months (In Russia)

The prices for the most common 95-octane gasoline are being held steady for now, largely due to the fuel damper mechanism. My prediction is that they won’t be able to maintain this for long, and eventually, the oil companies will approach the government and say: "There is already a significant gap between the real (economically justified) price of gasoline at retail gas stations and the price we are holding back—let’s start raising it". I’m curious when exactly this will happen, but I suspect we’re looking at the beginning of the year (Prices for 95-octane gasoline in Russia will soon start to rise)

I do not share the sentiment that the far-right has won. Overall, the AfD does not have such percentages in Germany, and in western Germany, they are closer to zero. They will not win at the national level (The Alternative for Germany will not win the national elections in 2025)

Judging by what the Central Bank is saying, it looks like they won’t raise it (The Central Bank of Russia will not raise the key interest rate in February 2025)

As people's purchasing power declines, we will soon see a drop in housing prices

Their next rate meeting is on December 20, and they stated that they will raise rates again if nothing changes. As you and viewers might guess, over the next two months, it’s hard to imagine what could cause a sudden drop in inflation, especially when everything is spiraling and inflation expectations remain high, with no change in fundamental factors. So, it’s likely they’ll raise the rate again in December (The Central Bank of Russia is expected to increase the key rate once more on December 20, 2024)

I think she will win (Kamala Harris)

Next week, they have no other option but to sharply raise the rate... Predictions are predictions. I think at least 3 basis points, which means the current rate of 19% will go up to at least 22% (The Central Bank of Russia will raise the key rate to a minimum of 22% on October 25, 2024)

We are waiting for the meeting on September 13. There is no scenario where the Central Bank will start lowering the rate. In the best case, the maintenance of 18% is being discussed. I will take a risk and make a prediction: I think they will raise it after all (The Central Bank of Russia is likely to raise the key interest rate at the upcoming meeting on September 13)

And we will definitely see 200 rubles per dollar, 300 rubles per dollar... even in the legal market

Already now, at the beginning of the year, oil is below $50. And it is unlikely to become more expensive

Due to the closure of enterprises and the cessation of cooperation with international companies, there will be millions of new unemployed (In Russia)

Almost nothing. I think the question now is when he will physically finish his journey. They will get to him. Right now, they will try to make the situation calm down a bit, and then he will suddenly disappear from the radar (Response to the question: "What is left of Prigozhin?)

I believe that it is absolutely certain that serious breakthroughs will be achieved. This is a matter of the coming weeks (The Armed Forces of Ukraine will make breakthroughs)

I am more of a skeptic. I will explain why there will not be a real military conflict... This possibility cannot be denied; such a risk exists, and it is very serious. I am not urging anyone to relax. I try to analyze all of this with a cool head

Maksim Shevchenko is a smart man. He understands that his party isn’t going anywhere... Maksim, that vote won’t go to you — it will go to United Russia. Because your party isn’t making it through (He’s saying that the “Freedom and Justice” party won’t pass the 5% threshold in the upcoming elections)
