Tariff Fog and Missile Threats

About this episode

The episode discusses market volatility caused by the Supreme Court's decision on tariffs and geopolitical tensions with Iran.

AI host Alex and show's producer Selim break down a week of market volatility driven by two major shocks: the Supreme Court’s strike-down of Trump’s tariffs and his immediate 15% global "replacement" fee. With the transition from tariff certainty to "tariff fog" and a looming 15-day ultimatum for Iran, the geopolitical stakes have never been higher.
