The year 2025 is approaching, and the well-known YouTube channel 'Mr & Mrs Gao' released a video yesterday, reviewing disaster predictions for 2025. It indicates that there may be major disasters at the end of January and on July 5. If this prediction could come true, could there be significant risks to the overall economy at these two major points in time? (Background: The US November PCE index was significantly below expectations! Has inflation been controlled? Federal Reserve officials expect a substantial rate decrease next year.) (Additional background: The Fed's spokesperson: The era of ultra-low interest rates is over, Trump holds the key to rate cuts in 2025.) The well-known YouTube channel 'Mr & Mrs Gao' released a video yesterday, reviewing disaster predictions for 2025, revealing two key points in time when disasters might occur: the end of January and at 4:18 AM on July 5. Based on the perspectives of several prophets, it raises the possibility of natural or man-made disasters occurring, which has drawn attention. Mr. Gao mentioned that Japanese manga artist Ryuuki Ryou accurately predicted multiple events through precognitive dreams. He began recording his dreams in 1976, and in a 1999 published manga (The Future I Saw), he documented 15 dreams, 10 of which have come true, including the Kobe earthquake, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the death of Princess Diana. After years of silence, Ryuuki Ryou released (The Complete Version of the Future I Saw) in early October 2021, where he recorded that he dreamed of a massive underwater explosion occurring at 4:18 AM on July 5, in the triangular waters of Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines, triggering a tsunami over 100 meters high and causing devastating impacts on neighboring countries. However, Ryuuki Ryou stated in that work that Taiwan would not disappear as a result, because at the moment of the super tsunami's assault, a landmass would rise from the seabed, connecting the lands of Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. Additionally, Mr. Gao pointed out that the famous British psychic Craig Hamilton-Parker has warned that the end of January 2025 could be a dangerous time period. He claimed to have seen a huge black mushroom cloud over Japan through remote viewing, which could indicate a major earthquake in that region, leading to a massive underwater volcanic eruption or even regional conflicts. Mr. Gao further stated in the video that the disasters in 2025 may not be limited to natural phenomena. For example, underwater nuclear tests or other man-made factors could also be potential trigger points. He further cited scientific predictions that 2025 coincides with a peak in solar sunspots, which could lead to severe geomagnetic storms, affecting global communication systems and power facilities. Could the timing align with economic trends? Notably, from a macroeconomic perspective, the disaster predictions for 2025 may coincide with significant shifts in the financial markets. Firstly, the yen carry trade, which previously triggered a global stock market crash and is viewed as a significant ticking time bomb in the market, may stir turbulence again in January. The Bank of Japan is scheduled to hold a monetary policy meeting from January 23 to 24, 2025, and the market tends to expect that the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates in January. Meanwhile, despite recent signs of stagnation in inflation progress, the Federal Reserve may pause interest rate cuts in January, which would shrink the space for yen carry trades. Once the arbitrage space disappears, the yen carry trade unwinding that caused the global financial market crash in early August this year may happen again, impacting the global financial market. An anonymous expert had previously commented to BlockTempo: The Bank of Japan may raise rates by 3 basis points to 1% in 2025, while the Federal Reserve's latest forecast suggests it will cut rates by 2 basis points next year. This back-and-forth arbitrage difference directly reduces by 1.25%, and it is expected that the reduced arbitrage difference will lead to a contraction in the US stock market, which relies heavily on yen borrowing. As for the predicted date of July 5, although it does not align with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting scheduled for July 29 to 30, 2025, it may be related to the market's reaction to the results of the FOMC meeting on June 17 to 18. Historically, the FOMC meeting minutes are usually released two to three weeks after the meeting, so this timing is more likely to coincide with the release of the FOMC meeting minutes from June. If after the June FOMC meeting, the decisions appear to align with market expectations but actually contain hidden hawkish signals, such as no rate cuts, economic pessimism, rate hikes, or maintaining high rates, it could lead to a market reaction when the meeting minutes are published, potentially intensifying market anxiety, making early July a key trigger point for market fluctuations. Considering Powell's recent remarks, after cutting rates by one basis point in December and announcing that rate cuts in 2025 would be more gradual, and only expecting two rate cuts in 2025, a more reasonable market expectation is that the Federal Reserve will cut rates by one basis point during the periods of June-July and November-December 2025. Therefore, the decisions made during the Federal Reserve's meetings in June-July 2025 will be crucial. If a monetary policy shift occurs, it could significantly impact the economic situation. Statement: Predictions are purely for entertainment and lack significant credibility. This article is only intended to organize potential relevant macroeconomic dates, but the timing and potential risks in the economic market have a certain coincidence, reminding us to stay highly vigilant regarding financial market dynamics in 2025.
