This Isn’t an Oil Shock—It’s Something Worse

About this episode

Zach and Chase discuss the current energy situation and its implications for the market, contrasting it with past oil shocks.

April 29, 2026 - Zach and Chase break down why the current energy situation is fundamentally different from past oil shocks—and why the market may still be underestimating the impact. They walk through tightening inventories, rising fuel prices, and the cascading effects of supply constraints across the global economy. The discussion also covers tech earnings, rising capex pressures, Fed policy shifts, and why inflation could move significantly higher if current trends continue.
