About this episode
Zach and Chase discuss the disconnect between market pricing and physical reality, focusing on oil markets and the influence of political messaging.
May 7, 2026 - Zach and Chase break down the growing disconnect between market pricing and physical reality as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed far longer than most investors expected. They discuss why oil markets continue behaving irrationally, how political messaging is distorting price signals, and why passive flows and AI momentum may be overwhelming fundamentals across the broader market. The conversation also dives into semiconductors, China’s tech ambitions, and why today’s market structure may be more fragile than most people realize.
