About this episode
Liz Ann Sonders discusses the impact of surging oil prices on equities and the stock market's recent performance.
A record-breaking run drove stocks toward their longest weekly rally since 2024 amid hopes for a deal to end the Iran war that has rattled financial markets and jeopardized the economic outlook. The nearly 1% advance in the S&P 500 Friday left the gauge on track for a fifth straight week of gains. Liz Ann Sonders, Chief Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab, discusses pressure on equities from the oil shock and why prices continue to climb higher. She speaks with hosts Paul Sweeney and Alexis Christoforous. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
