Show Notes
Stock markets plummeted Monday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq dropping significantly, while the Dow barely edged up. The primary cause: West Texas Intermediate crude oil surged past $100 a barrel, driven by the ongoing Iran war, Houthi attacks, and President Trumps plans to control Irans oil market indefinitely. This surge has led to a significant increase in gasoline and diesel prices, impacting various sectors. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the focus on inflation expectations, warning of potential self-fulfilling spirals. Meanwhile, new rules could propel SpaceX to the Nasdaq 100 index, crypto stocks appear undervalued, and green energy discussions are heating up. Todays job openings data, consumer confidence, and Chicago PMI will provide insights into the wars impact on markets.
