From the original episode description
Welcome out to another Trading Justice podcast. We’ve got a packed show this week as the market continues to trade headlines surrounding the Iran conflict, crude oil, and the Strait of Hormuz. We break down the latest escalation around Kharg Island, why oil remains the key macro driver right now, and what traders should actually be watching while volatility stays elevated. We also preview this week’s Fed meeting and take a look back at Jay Powell’s tenure as Fed Chair.
With only a couple meetings left before his term ends, we walk through the biggest moments of the Powell era — from the 2018 rate hikes and the Powell Pivot, to the pandemic response, the transitory inflation mistake, the aggressive hiking cycle, and the banking crisis. We discuss the best decisions, the worst mistakes, and where Powell ranks among modern Fed chairs. To close the show, we play a Polymarket game and react to betting odds tied to the war, the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. military escalation, midterms, the 2028 election, OpenAI, aliens, movies, and even whether LeBron will retire.
A mix of macro, markets, politics, and a little fun to finish the podcast.
