The “world’s most accurate economist” is predicting Donald Trump will win the presidency and that Republicans are likely to take full control of Congress on Nov. 5.
Christophe Barraud, the chief economist and strategist at Market Securities Monaco, also says a Trump win could boost the economy in the short term but poses longer-term complications, particularly with the soaring deficit.
“Looking at different metrics such as betting markets, polls, election modelers’ forecasts, financial markets, as of now, the most probable outcomes are: [1] #Trump victory [2] #GOP clean sweep,” Barraud wrote on X.
Barraud, 38, has been ranked as the best economic forecaster for the US economy in 11 of the past 12 years by Bloomberg — earning him the nickname “world’s most accurate economist.”
