Sunday, March 15th. Iran Tensions Felt at Home. Is There a Pot of Gold?

In this Week in Review, Dave Spano and Dr. Brian Jacobsen unpack a whirlwind of developments out of Iran, from a newly appointed leader to massive U.S. military spending, and the global scramble to reroute disrupted oil and fertilizer supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. They dive into why the IEA’s record‑setting 400‑million‑barrel release may barely move the needle, how early tremors in private credit are starting to rumble louder, and why CPI and jobs data already feel outdated in a $100‑oil world. The episode also highlights surprising shifts in consumer behavior as McDonald’s and Dollar General target both budget‑conscious and higher‑income shoppers, along with segments on the rise in workers tapping their 401(k)s and the growing phenomenon of “retirement subtraction.”
