Brent crude backup over $84, I think that that is the... driver of short term, both ups and downs and volatility within the equity market is through the channel of... of oil Identifies oil as primary driver of short-term equity market volatility, with daily movements tied to oil price fluctuations.

If there are going to be sustained persistent disruptions to energy facilities in the region, the Strait of Hormuz, that could actually lead oil prices to top $100. We estimate reaching up to $108 a barrel.

wti

The president's war has obviously disrupted oil prices in their way up over the last couple of days. The host explicitly states oil prices have gone up due to geopolitical conflict, framing the immediate shock. Kashkari does not contest this factual observation but discusses its uncertain duration and inflationary impact.

yields

Already the rates market is repricing the cuts we assumed this year. The repricing of expected Fed cuts is directly linked to inflationary concerns stemming from higher oil prices due to the Middle East conflict.

wti

One thing is oil. Everything second derivative of oil. Oil causing dollar squeeze, permeating risk spectrum; stocks don't like it.

I'm just watching prices at the pump. They've jumped up over the last week you can see that when you drive around. Barkin explicitly notes the recent jump in pump prices (a direct function of oil/WTI prices) following geopolitical events. He frames it as an observed near-term increase but explicitly states uncertainty over whether it will be short-term or long-term, implying a 'short' term view on the direction.

yields

Inflation is kind of going in the wrong direction right now. Feroli explicitly states inflation is moving the wrong way (core PCE rising) and links Middle East tensions to concerns about energy price pass-through. This suggests upward pressure on yields as the Fed remains on pause and inflation concerns persist.

wti

You're seeing oil, it's not really spiking that much. He explicitly states oil is not spiking much and links US military escort of tankers to a political need to prevent oil prices from going through the roof before midterms to control inflation. This points to an expectation of contained, rangebound prices in the near term.

We do have this general expectation that dollar probably does weaken... our long-term projection continues to be around 1.26 [for EUR/USD]. Administration wants weaker dollar, but near-term safe-haven flows provide support during 'hot conflict'. Expects Euro-dollar range 1.16-1.20s near-term, moving to 1.26 long-term.

yields

10-year Treasury yields again sitting at 4.12%. Quite elevated here. It's not sparking that typical safe haven bond buying yields are continuing to edge higher as investors really kind of monitor those latest developments that's going on with the conflict.

ndx

I think it's a secular bull market that continues to be led by tech. Entire interview is a bullish thesis on major tech/AI companies (Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, CrowdStrike, etc.) which dominate NDX. Sees current sell-off as a bottoming opportunity and is in 'year 3 of an 8-10 year build out'.

wti

We happen to have in terms of our kind of more bearish 6-12 month view on oil... that transition leads to the first leg lower in prices, perhaps around a month's time... and then the Next leg lower comes on the basis of peace deals... Ukraine Peace still happens towards the end of the summer. Layton explicitly outlines a two-phase bearish view for the medium term (6-12 months), contingent on conflict de-escalation and geopolitical resolutions. The direction is 'down' (not 'cautious down') as he presents it as Citi's 'baseline view' and core forecast for H2.

wti

I do think that energy prices are going to retreat once we start to see this situation in Iran start to subside. And our year-end forecast for oil is $55 to $60 per barrel. Assumes conflict duration of 3-4 weeks; longer would force revisit. China has incentive to reopen Strait of Hormuz. U.S. is net exporter, reducing impact.

wti

Longer this goes on, prices will gradually ratchet higher.

metals

We actually expect it to rise to $100 again over the course of this year. Based on CPM Group's analysis combining macroeconomic factors, supply/demand fundamentals, and technical analysis, with current price around $88-$90 driven by financial investor demand for protection against economic problems.

ndx

this is a buying opportunity McCarteny explicitly frames the geopolitical sell-off as a buying opportunity, citing strong underlying tailwinds like the 'AI revolution' and 'double digits earning boom.' She notes a 'flight to safety in large cap U.S. stocks,' which includes NDX constituents.

wti

if oil goes up and is sustained at 90 for a considerable point in time Presents a conditional, risk-based scenario from UBS: sustained $90 oil for six months would have a measurable negative economic impact (60 bps off consumer spending). This frames the direction as cautiously upward, dependent on conflict duration.

rut

The Russell's up 3% year to date. Part of his diversification thesis - small caps are performing better than tech/mega-caps YTD.

wti

I'm talking oil above 100, at which point you're probably going to end up with a global recession. War duration is key variable - short war (month) means contained prices, long war means oil above $100 and recession.

wti

This was a well-telegraphed geopolitical event. The crude market had already moved substantially over the past two months. The move we saw on Monday wasn't even in the top 50 moves in crude... The crude markets are very well supplied. Bessent argues the oil price spike was pre-priced and current supply is ample, suggesting near-term price pressure is limited despite geopolitical events.

yields

there's still evidence to me that it [the labour market] needs more support from monetary policy. As a Fed Governor arguing for continued rate cuts despite the conflict, his explicit policy stance is dovish. Supporting rate cuts implies an expectation that yields should move lower over the medium term as the Fed eases policy.

wti

If current disruptions continue, we think oil prices can basically go up to a hundred, or a hundred dollars per barrel. Current price already includes $19 war premium. Further disruption, especially closure of Strait of Hormuz, would push prices sharply higher.

wti

If this would go on for weeks and months, then of course it represents a big macro shock... We're seeing a large geopolitical risk premium. Storage constraints could force production cuts if Strait closure prolonged.

wti

If the war with Iran is short and oil goes to 80, 90, 100, it would probably have a major effect. Explicitly states a scenario where oil prices rise sharply to $80-100 due to the conflict.

The US dollar did turn lower after reports that Iranian operatives made offers to discuss terms of ending the war... since then we saw the dollar index turn negative... jumped above 99 for the first time since mid January. The dollar index spiked above 99 on conflict/safe-haven flows, then turned negative on peace talk reports, showing sharp, news-driven swings in both directions.

metals

Even though gold is typically considered a safe haven asset, there are times when the pressure just becomes too intense leading to a liquidation event... They sold gold, they sold silver, and they sold platinum. Those were down very heavy during the session... Futures up here about 1.6% here today. Metals experienced a heavy sell-off (liquidation) followed by a sharp rebound overnight on dollar weakness, indicating high volatility driven by conflicting forces of safe-haven demand and dollar/rate pressure.

yields

10-year Treasury yields that spiked nearly 20 basis points over two sessions here hitting a multi-week high right around that 4.10%... as the Iranian conflict really driven those energies energy to surge reigniting the inflation fears Conflict-driven energy price surge is directly linked to reignited inflation fears, causing a sharp, rapid rise in yields.

dxy

If the war continues no question. The R-Sing is longer... the longer oil prices stay elevated, the lower the chance in the market's mind of continued Fed rate cuts, which also narrows the rate differential argument against the dollar. Flight to safety and reduced Fed cut expectations support dollar.

metals

I still like precious metals... I think that's a safest place. On the commodity side, copper structurally is just in such a bullish demand supply dynamic that I don't see that changing regardless of what happens with that on board. Haven asset during geopolitical risk; structural supply-demand for copper.

wti

I do not care about the spot price of oil. It goes to $100, $120. If it comes back in a week to two weeks, the economy will blink and not miss it. Geopolitical risk premium from Iran war; physical disruption to Strait of Hormuz.

metals

Long-term structural theme is still there... It's a time when we focus more on safe havens like gold and other real assets and gold fulfills that part of the equation.

yields

clearly now with the developments, if this ends up being sustained, the initial reaction will be what does this mean for inflation... we have seen the reaction when it comes to treasuries and across the curve yields are up

metals

by the end of the decade, I'm saying gold's going to be 10,000... I still say 10,000 by the end of the decade. Acknowledges a massive run has occurred and gold needs to digest/grind sideways in the short term, but maintains a long-term secular bull market thesis.

I think a temporary spike... oil's only up 6%... this is just a short-term blip. Views the geopolitical-driven surge as a transient event, not a sustained inflationary shock. Advises hedging at current high prices, expecting them to come down.

only once before in 1990 did interest rates go up or bond sell-off... we're seeing the market kind of set the tone for where rates want to go. Draws parallel to 1990, a similar commodity-driven inflationary period following US involvement in conflict, suggesting the current situation is driving rates higher.

wti

the price of oil, of course, has risen, you know, the order of 10 percent, the price of... The West Texas benchmark is in fact over $80... the fear is that if the straight remains closed for many, many weeks that we will see a further run-up possibly into the triple digits in terms of oil prices. The interviewee describes a current price increase (~10%, WTI >$80) and outlines a conditional, fear-based scenario for a further significant rise ('triple digits') dependent on the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The core statement is about a current upward move and a risk of further upward movement, not a definitive forecast of a 'sharp up' move from current levels.

wti

Short war with oil at $80-90 probably won't have major effect, but if prolonged, all bets off.

wti

Oil has to stay in eighty eighty five dollars for at least three to four months for having meaningful inflation impact. Sees a prolonged period of elevated oil prices as necessary for a significant macroeconomic impact, implying a view that prices will be sustained at higher levels, not just a short spike.
