Episode 3: How Assets Behave In Volatile Markets

Several weeks ago, Alejandro and Serhii built a portfolio based on a straightforward thesis: during supply shocks, commodity ETFs and broad equity markets tend to move in opposite directions. The portfolio — built around oil, wheat, corn and diversified commodity funds — has since grown by 13.04% while the S&P 500 declined by 1.89% over the same period. This episode walks through why that happened. The difference between owning a commodity and owning a commodity company. How oil supply disruptions create negative correlation with equities. Why Exxonand crude oil diverged sharply over the same five-day window. All of it shown on screen, with live data. The numbers are real. The portfolio is real. The analysis is grounded in what markets actually did, not what they were supposed to do. During the podcast, important visual information is sometimes presented alongside the discussion.
