About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the Iran conflict on the stock market and investment strategies.
Stocks have churned through the first two months of 2026, and that was before the U.S. launched attacks on Iran. Now, investors must grapple with the future of the AI trade, tariffs, interest rates, and the uncertainty of a war in the Middle East. Barron's Senior Managing Editor Lauren R. Rublin speaks with Ben Levisohn, Barron's new editor in chief, about stocks and sectors in the news, and what to do now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
