US Markets Wrap: Oil, Inflation and the Venezuela Wildcard

from Breakfast with Ryan Huang, Emaad Akhtar and Audrey Siek · host MONEY FM 89.3

U.S. markets hit fresh all-time highs as investors shrug off geopolitical shocks. Markets barely flinched after U.S. action in Venezuela, but should investors be paying closer attention? Laila Pence, President & Co-Founder, Pence Wealth Management look at why the short-term impact on oil is limited, how increased supply could shape inflation longer term, and what this means for positioning in energy stocks and oil services. We unpack what’s really driving markets to new highs - from blockbuster earnings and tax-driven stimulus to the Federal Reserve’s easing bias.
