Watch: Oil Shock & The Market That Won't Break
Filmed on March 13th, 2026, Ryan Mumy and Justin Greenhill break down the most critical market trends affecting your portfolio. In this episode, we analyze:
- Historical crisis events vs. S&P 500 returns: the data is a mixed bag, not a clear signal
- Oil and global stocks moving in opposite directions since the Iran conflict began
- Food costs tracking crude oil with a lag, possibly adding pressure on the consumer
- China dominating critical raw materials production, and why the US and Europe are establishing a price floor
- Mag Seven valuations completing a round trip back to 15-year averages as earnings hold
- Investors heavily hedged with put skew at elevated levels, limiting near-term downside
- Small cap outperformance rolling over as the conditions supporting it disappear
- Japan and Korea importing 85-90% of their energy, making them most exposed to oil spikes
- China's consumer continuing to weaken despite government stimulus, with demographics a key factor
- Fed rate cut expectations collapsing to one cut in 2026 as oil complicates the inflation picture
- European Central Bank potentially forced toward rate hikes, not cuts, as a result of their single mandate
- 10-year Treasury yields bouncing sharply off lows, pushing mortgage rates to 11-month highs
- Corporate credit spreads starting to move higher but still within long-term range
- Copper holding near all-time highs with a structurally different supply and demand story than oil
