[Audio Pod] Commodity Crash Mayhem & Making Sense of the Madness
from Insider Exchange · host Jimmy Moyaha / Simon Brown
This week we kick things off with Trevor Noah going 6-for-6 at the Grammys before diving into a packed set of market updates. We run through earnings season highlights, interest rate reflections, questions around a new Fed chair, a fresh Fed rate check, Saudi Arabia’s stock market going live, gold pushing toward $5,600, Canal+ entering the streaming chat, and 140 years of Mercedes-Benz. In the Deep Dive, we ask the uncomfortable question: do markets actually make sense? We break down crashes, price moves, sentiment shifts, and why logic often disappears when volatility takes over. In Make-It-Make-Sense, we follow the money through the Great Wall of Cape Town and its R115 million price tag, a Khaby Lame deal that raises eyebrows, and a R1 million Citi Golf that somehow found a buyer. We wrap with an Unfiltered Opinion that gets personal. Jimmy puts Simon — the number one Nicki Minaj stan — on the spot about her political turn. The conclusion? Sometimes separating the art from the artist gets… complicated. Piracy briefly enters the discussion. YouTube · TikTok
