"And number three has to do with United States debt buying. So the United States government also spends a lot of money that we don't have. We've been talking about the national debt problem here in the United States for a long time. Obviously, it's worse in Japan. But remember, the largest foreign lender to the United States is Japan. And Japanese investors are a big part of that. So, if now Japanese investors are looking at investment opportunities and they're saying, "hm, now the Japanese government is going to give me a real rate of return because before it was a negative rate of return, if I can get a real rate of return in Japan, maybe I don't need to lend my money to the United States. I can just lend my money inside of Japan." And the reason why that matters to the United States is because again, supply and demand. If the United States government keeps spending money that they don't have, which yes, they're going to continue doing in 2026, they're going to need to borrow that money."

Interpreted Prediction
The US government will continue to spend money it doesn't have in 2026, requiring borrowing. A potential decrease in Japanese investment in US debt could force the US government to raise interest rates to attract lenders.
AI Evaluation Notes
The US government continued to spend and borrow in 2026. Interest rates did rise in 2026 as the Fed combatted inflation, which aligns with the prediction, although multiple factors influenced this rise, not solely Japanese investment.
