Christophe Barraud known as the “world’s most accurate economist” says, Donald Trump will win U.S elections

Christophe Barraud, hailed as the "world's most accurate economist," predicts a Trump victory in the 2024 US presidential election, alongside a likely Republican Congress takeover. Based on betting markets, polling, and financial trends, Barraud, Chief Economist at Market Securities Monaco, projects a Republican "clean sweep" as the most probable outcome, according to his post on X. Known for his consistent accuracy over the past 12 years, Barraud foresees immediate economic boosts if Trump wins, though he warns of long-term fiscal challenges linked to an expanding deficit.

Economic Impact of GOP Sweep

Barraud predicts a 2.1%-2.3% GDP growth in 2025 with a Trump-led GOP, but notes potential risks, including a deficit surge if taxes are cut without offsetting revenue. If Trump’s party gains full Congressional control, policy changes may accelerate economic growth, surpassing current GDP forecasts of 2.6% for 2024 and 1.8% for 2025. Conversely, Barraud points out that a split Congress could delay Trump’s domestic agenda, making tariff-focused policies likely—potentially stalling US and global economic expansion.

Market Implications for Trump’s Agenda

Barraud anticipates that if Trump cuts taxes, yields on the 10-year Treasury Bond could rise to 4.5%, possibly peaking at 5% with further spending increases. A Trump-led administration, he predicts, would exceed the usual economic projections, providing short-term economic momentum but straining federal budgets. GOP control would thus pave the way for significant policy shifts with both economic upside and potential risks, per Barraud’s analysis.

While Barraud is confident in a Trump-led victory, he also highlights that if Kamala Harris prevails, Congress would likely stay divided, continuing the current political gridlock. Dr. Allan Lichtman, known for predicting nine out of the last ten elections, has backed Harris for the win, and polling expert Nate Silver has hinted at a tight race with Trump slightly ahead. The RealClearPolitics aggregate polling shows a close contest, with both candidates holding ground in key battleground states.

Eight Days to Election Day

With just over a week left, the latest polls indicate a nearly even split between Trump and Harris. Barraud’s forecast, grounded in economic data and historical trends, presents a vivid picture of how the election could reshape both US policy and the global economy. As America approaches election day, the outcome of this critical decision remains uncertain, with both Trump and Harris fighting in a high-stakes race that could redefine the economic landscape for years to come.
