Welcome to the VRA Investing Podcast. On today’s episode, Kip Herriage offers a deep dive into the current state of the markets after a quiet trading day. He rewinds to the remarkable parabolic move higher from April to May, contrasts it with summer’s market malaise, and discusses the remarkable resilience of major indexes despite sector struggles. Kip Herriage examines international developments—particularly the energy market’s shifting dynamics involving Iran—and details how new supply routes are reducing the strategic significance of the Strait. He also lays out why recent market action signals a strengthening rotational bull market, and explains why fundamentals, technicals, and sentiment are aligning for a potential melt-up scenario to year-end.
