Intro

Oil prices have surged above $100 after disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, sending shockwaves through global markets. In this episode, Mike McGlone, Sr. Commodities Strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, breaks down what’s driving the sudden spike in energy prices and why he believes it could trigger a much larger economic shift. We discuss how rising oil prices impact inflation, consumer spending, and the broader stock market. Plus, why volatility in commodities and gold could be an early warning sign for a potential downturn in equities. And what all of this means for investors as markets head into an increasingly uncertain year.
