Oil Could Hit $150: John Love on the Strait of Hormuz Crisis, Iran War & Energy Shocks
Oil just hit $100 for the first time since 2022. Could it go to $150?John Love of USCF Investments joins Michael A. Gayed, CFA on Lead-Lag Live at Future Proof Miami to break down the biggest oil shock since 1973. With 20% of the world's oil supply at risk through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran vowing to keep the waterway closed, and crude spiking 36% in six days — this is the most consequential energy crisis in decades.In this episode, John explains:Why this oil shock is more dangerous than the 1973 Arab oil embargoHow 6% of global supply has already been shut in — and 20% is at riskThe Iran war scenario: drone warfare, small boat threats, and the new AyatollahWhat happens to oil prices if Trump calls off the war vs. prolonged conflictStrategic petroleum reserves: why a coordinated G7 release may not be enoughChina-Taiwan risk: why China quietly built up reserves over the past yearThe Iraq War playbook: could oil see a 33% single-day drop on resolution?Where to invest in commodities through USCF InvestmentsThis interview was recorded live at Future Proof Miami on March 10, 2026, as oil prices surged past $100/barrel amid the escalating Iran conflict.Links & Resources:USCF Investments: uscfinvestments.comLead-Lag Media: leadlagmedia.comThe Lead-Lag Report: theleadlag.reportSubscribe: theleadlag.report/subscribeDISCLAIMER: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice.Support the show

Europe’s Rebirth: Herve Van Caloen on Germany’s Military & Tech Shift
In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Hervé Van Caloen, President of Mercator Investment Management, to discuss why Europe’s long-standing political and economic models are breaking down — and why that might be exactly what the continent needs for a revival.From Germany’s historic decision to become Europe’s largest military power by 2029 to the shift toward a “two-tier” European Union, Van Caloen explains how a new reality of realism is replacing years of complacency.We also explore the investment opportunities emerging from this shift, looking beyond traditional sectors to uncover hidden opportunities in European defense, semiconductor equipment, and biotech.In this episode:• The End of Complacency – Why the invasion of Ukraine shattered the old French-German leadership model.• Germany’s Military Pivot – How massive defense spending is fueling a revival in German technology and cybersecurity.• The Two-Tier Europe – Chancellor Merz’s vision for a streamlined, decision-oriented European Union.• Investment Frontiers – Why defense leaders like Rheinmetall, Thales, and BAE, along with semiconductor giant ASML, are key players.• Cutting the Red Tape – The urgent need for Europe to return to its 1992 free-market roots and reduce overregulation.Previous Episode: https://youtu.be/hN2qCZv9irYLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

Dollar Decline vs Market Concentration: Henry Greene on Emerging Markets Tech & the Next AI Winners
In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Henry Greene, Investment Strategist at KraneShares, to discuss how a weakening U.S. dollar and global AI capital spending could reshape leadership in technology markets.From Taiwan and South Korea’s semiconductor dominance to China’s growing AI innovation ecosystem, Greene explains why emerging markets technology may offer exposure to the same growth themes investors love in the U.S. — but with lower multiples and broader diversification.In this episode:– Why dollar weakness is a tailwind for emerging markets– How Taiwan and Korea benefit from AI CapEx– China’s role in large language model innovation– The case for diversifying beyond top-heavy US tech– How KEMQ captures emerging markets technology exposureLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

Embodied AI in Action: Derek Yan on Humanoid Robotics, KOID ETF & the Physical AI Shift
In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Derek Yan, Senior Investment Strategist at KraneShares, to explore why humanoid robotics is moving from research labs into real-world deployment — and what that means for investors.From embodied AI and general-purpose robotics to global supply chain dynamics between the U.S. and China, Yan explains why the KraneShares Global Humanoid and Embodied Intelligence ETF (KOID) focuses on the full ecosystem — not just headline mega-cap names — and even brings KOID, a working humanoid robot, into the interview to demonstrate the theme in real time.In this episode:– What “embodied AI” actually means– Why humanoids are reaching an inflection point now– How labor shortages are accelerating adoption– Why the “body” of robotics may hold the most value– How KOID captures the entire humanoid value chainLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.
