As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East persist, the global economy is grappling with more than just volatile oil prices. This week’s show brings together Peter Boockvar (CIO, OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners) and Marc Chandler (Managing Partner, Bannockburn Global Forex) to dissect the deeper structural shifts - from the "parabolic" move in gold and the cooling AI trade to the looming shadow of the un-stress-tested private credit market.

 

• Segment 1 & 2 - Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer at OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners and editor of the Boock Report on Substack, analyzes the long-term economic consequences of the Middle East conflict. He discusses the persistence of inflation driven by elevated commodity and energy prices, the "stagflationary" risks of modest growth paired with high costs, and significant shifts in global markets, including the waning momentum of AI tech stocks and the increasing appeal of gold as a reserve asset.
