Rising Oil’s Ripple Effects

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of rising oil prices on economic growth and the stock market, featuring insights from Liz Ann Sonders.

With no clear resolution to the war in Iran in sight, rising oil prices have already had a cascading effect on economic growth which is barreling into the stock market. We break down the spike in prices across sectors, and the dislocation inside the capital markets with Liz Ann Sonders, Chief Market Strategist for Charles Schwab. Plus, investors have turned decidedly bearish at last, just in time for the business news magazines to flash their latest covers of despair. That’s usually a bullish indicator, but we are living in very unusual times. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
