About this episode
Karl discusses the recent market selloff driven by war headlines and rising oil prices, highlighting sectors that are performing well amidst the volatility.
Markets took another hit this week as war headlines, rising oil prices, and a jump in volatility kept investors on edge. Karl walks through what's actually been working — energy, commodities, and a few defensive pockets — while most of the market, including tech, bonds, and international stocks, has struggled. He closes with a reminder that this kind of selloff is often driven by headlines first and fundamentals later, which is why patience and diversification still matter.
