Episode notes
Oil Shock Can Trigger A Reverse Wealth Effect
- Geopolitical oil shocks can trigger broader market volatility and potentially spark a recession via a reversed wealth effect.
- Mike warns crude's rapid bounce and supply responses from US producers make energy-driven volatility likely to spill into stocks and cryptos.
Bitcoin Showing Resilience During Panic
- Bitcoin has held up unusually well amid panic selling across risk assets during the Strait of Hormuz shutdown.
- Scott and Dave note BTC rose ~10% since the war started while S&P fell, showing crypto isn't tracking stocks in this episode.
Energy Spike Could Be Bullish For Long Bonds
- Rising oil can push inflation and short-term rates up but ultimately becomes bearish for growth and bullish for long-duration Treasuries.
- Robert and Mike argue demand destruction from $80–$100 crude creates a duration trade into TLT.
