You Can Still Hedge the Next Energy Shock

Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999

Blockading the blockade… The last oil tankers from the Persian Gulf are arriving… Energy crisis protection… Brush your teeth… Stocks keep going up… Weathering the chaos…

My, how the tables have turned…

We’re back from the weekend, and now the U.S. is shutting down the Strait of Hormuz…

Twenty hours of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Pakistan failed to produce an agreement. As President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, “There is only one thing that matters – IRAN IS UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS!”

So Trump’s next move was to announce a U.S. “blockade” of the key strait at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. And with that, the Iranian military said the ceasefire announced last week is off, as far as Iran is concerned.

The idea from the White House is that the U.S. Navy will only permit tankers traveling to and from ports outside Iran. The plan went into effect at 10 a.m. Eastern time today.

That doesn’t mean Iran won’t keep attacking these ships… or that they won’t strike a mine. Iran says it doesn’t even know where all its mines are.

According to Trump, 34 ships passed through the strait yesterday. That’s up from the handful that have reportedly trickled through over the past six weeks. But it’s barely a third of the typical daily pre-war traffic.

In other words, we’re a long way from “normal.”

An important point ahead…

The disruption in Persian Gulf energy shipments is about to hit home.

War has been raging in Iran for the past month and a half… But tankers move slowly. Some ships that passed through the strait before the war began, and they still haven’t reached their destinations. Their oil and gas will feed the global market like usual.

The last of those ships will reach their destinations this week. And this time, there won’t be a steady supply of tankers behind them.

That’s when energy supplies will start drying up in some parts of the world…

Meanwhile, oil production in the Middle East has been drastically cut in nations like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.

In all, OPEC’s March production was down 27% month over month, or 8 million barrels less per day. And attacks on energy infrastructure in the region have continued this month. So supply is likely to remain unstable in the months ahead.

We wrote last week about how high oil prices could go the longer the Strait of Hormuz remains “closed” – as much as 70% higher from current levels if the situation drags on six more months.

An energy crisis hedge…

Even before all this latest news over the weekend, Stansberry Research senior analyst Bryan Beach sent a new, timely “Energy Crisis Hedge” recommendation to his Stansberry Venture Valuesubscribers…

We’ve been writing about Energy Crisis Hedges since February 2022, when we introduced the concept as “Putin Hedges.” The core idea is that rising geopolitical instability – especially in Eastern Europe and the Middle East – would weaponize energy. This would push oil prices up and shift global demand toward relatively safe jurisdictions like the U.S. So we’ve been investing in the domestic companies that are poised to soar from this shift.

The White House has echoed our Energy Crisis Hedge thesis in recent weeks.

Then came the weekend, and a blockade today… For some really good reading on the “weaponization” of energy and Bryan’s stock recommendation to hedge an energy crisis, existing Venture Valuesubscribers can find his full issue here. As he writes…

Now, you might be wondering if it’s too late to hedge. After all, it seems like the current situation would already be priced into every stock even remotely exposed to U.S. energy production.

The answer is that hedging is always a smart move when chaos looms like it does today. Plus, by carefully shopping around, we can still get some Energy Hedge “insurance” for a reasonable price.

The new recommendation from Bryan is one such opportunity. He says it gives folks “full exposure to U.S. energy, but its shares won’t collapse if [oil] falls further.” Plus, as Bryan continued…

The company trades for a bargain right now, but it’s about to hit a major inflection point that will fundamentally change its stock’s trajectory…

And, as we’ve pointed out before, it’s not just oil and gas…

Oil price swings have driven much of the overall market volatility lately. But other commodities – including some most people wouldn’t think of – are seeing their supplies disrupted as well.

Here’s one “unexpected” consequence… In our neck of the woods, the city of Baltimore announced today it will lower fluoride levels in its drinking water by 42%. The war in Iran has disrupted supplies of the hydrofluorosilicic acid the U.S. imports from Israel and China.

At the risk of encouraging a fluoride debate in our mailbag… brush those teeth, kids.

A ‘mixed’ day…

Oil prices moved higher again, between 1% and 4%. No surprise there. But they also were off their highs of the past 24 hours as we write, with Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate around $98 per barrel. They were both above $100 earlier in the day.

Meanwhile, the major U.S. stock indexes held onto the “ceasefire” bounce from last week… even though Iran declared the ceasefire over. The indexes were higher today across the board, with the tech sector of the S&P 500 Index leading the way.

The AI universe got a boost as Oracle (ORCL) shares popped nearly 13% today after the company touted some of its AI platforms for utility companies.

Optimism abounds, it appears…

The S&P 500 Index traded above its 200-day moving average for a fourth straight trading day. And the CBOE Volatility Index (“VIX”) dipped below 20, trending down from its highs last month closer to 30.

But world events have hardly settled down. It’s a lot to follow.

If you’re struggling to keep up with the developments in Iran or have even given up trying, you’re not alone…

As Whitney Tilson and Alan Gula wrote in this month’s The N.E.W. System update sent to subscribers on Friday…

Earlier this week, the president of the United States warned that an entire civilization could be wiped off the map… Oil spiked above $117 a barrel… And a ceasefire was reached and violated.

That was just on Tuesday.

We know the feeling. We were here, writing about it. And fortunately for their subscribers, Whitney and Alan were putting together the latest update on a terrific market solution they offer in the AI-aided N.E.W. System portfolio.

Their AI system culls their model portfolio from a selection of 1,000 stocks that are first filtered using our proprietary Stansberry Score. It chooses a complementary selection of 20 top-quality stocks to form a risk-adjusted portfolio to weather exactly the kind of chaotic, unpredictable environment we’re living through right now.

As Whitney and Alan wrote…

Thankfully, our system doesn’t care what Trump happens to post on a Tuesday morning. Our algorithms don’t have an opinion on whether the ceasefire is real or destined to fall apart. Nor do they care about the next $10 move in the price of oil.

Our algorithms don’t trade on headlines, panic, or hope. They don’t read the news. They just run the math every quarter, using the same rules.

So in today’s issue, we’ll review how The N.E.W. System works and explain how our portfolio is set up to profit no matter what happens next…

Subscribers can find their latest update here. And to learn more about The N.E.W. System, and to get started with a 70% discount, click here for a full presentation from Whitney.

The N.E.W. System may not be tracking the blur of daily headlines, but we are.

And, as we could have written a lot lately, we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

In today’s mailbag, thoughts on fuel hedging, which we covered in a mailbag last week… and thoughts on Dan Ferris’ Friday essay… Do you have a comment or question? As always, e-mail us at feedback@stansberryresearch.com.

“It is very easy to in hindsight chastise airlines for not having hedges in place when fuel prices [go] up dramatically.

“It is also very easy to chastise airlines when fuel prices go down dramatically, and their costs, profits and stock price don’t adjust commensurately because of their hedging.

“I can only imagine how challenging this is for airline management, damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

“Ultimately if your bonuses were tied to ‘steady slow growth’ you might hedge, and if you only cared about the next quarter or year, you’d probably look at oil prices going down and take the hedges off. Can’t blame anyone for that, except perhaps the boards and how compensation is structured.

“Either way, there will be costs, and they will be passed on to consumers, either as slow and steady growing costs, or with dramatic swings when oil and fuel prices have dramatic swings.” – Stansberry Alliance member John W.

“Subscriber Jeff C. succinctly describes Milton Friedman’s view on inflation – too much money chasing too few goods. Could it be, then, that today’s inflation numbers don’t yet reflect downward pricing adjustments by companies that are seeing their sales drop because Americans are now spending more on fuel? I guess we’ll see down the road.

“I also loved this paragraph from Dan’s report [on Friday]:

My job isn’t to make you agree with me. My job is to give you the tools to make sound investment decisions. If you think I’m an idiot but come away from this Digest with a clearer idea of how to handle market volatility, I’ve earned my paycheck.

“You’re the man, Dan.” – Subscriber Sherwin R.

FINANCIAL LITERACY

Why America Is Still the “Land of Opportunity”

Dr. Mark Skousen, Macroeconomic Strategist, The Oxford Club

“The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.”
– Robert Kiyosaki (The Maxims of Wall Street, Page 21)

Of the thousands of subscribers who now read Wealthy Retirement or my new newsletter The Skousen Report, I suspect many of you are self-made millionaires, either as entrepreneurs or as investors. I congratulate you. You have lived the American Dream.

As the novelist Ayn Rand wrote, “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision” (Maxims, Page 68).

It’s time we honored all of you who have made it to the Promised Land.

If you haven’t yet, perhaps you have a goal to get there someday. If you have, your goal should be to keep living the American Dream by investing wisely and avoiding bad choices. That’s our main purpose here at The Oxford Club, and I’m delighted to be a part of this great organization.

Three Principles of Success

How did you – or how can you – achieve this success in life? I believe it’s due to the three principles outlined by Benjamin Franklin: industry, thrift, and prudence. You work hard, you control your spending habits, and you don’t take foolish chances with your hard-earned money.

As Kevin O’Leary says, “Getting rich is easy if you follow three rules: Spend less, save more, and invest the rest” (see Page 24 of Maxims)… but do it wisely!

If you followed these rules, you are in a position to celebrate.

Forbes 250 Lists

As I mentioned last week, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, Forbes magazine has been creating a variety of new lists of successful Americans.

They are called the Forbes 250.

Last week, Forbes came out with two Forbes250 lists of the greatest self-made Americans who started from nothing and lived the American Dream:

I went through the list and discovered that I’ve met 14 of the living self-made Americans, including Bill Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg, and Mark Cuban, and nine of the historic figures, including George Foreman, whom I met at my FreedomFest conference.

I was also glad they finally added B.C. Forbes, the founder of Forbes magazine, to the list.

And, of course, I “knew” Ben Franklin (#19), as I am an eighth-generation direct descendant of “The Greatest American.”

America Is the Promised Land

America is indeed the land of opportunity for anyone to start from scratch and make their fortune. That’s why they call it “the American Dream.” No other country in the world offers so many of its citizens the chance to go from zero to hero in a lifetime.

President Ronald Reagan once said:View larger image

We have closed the border to illegal immigrants, but we must always have the door open to the best and the brightest foreigners who want to come to America and make a difference – Elon Musk (South Africa), Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (India), and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (Taiwan), to give three examples.

It’s because we are open to the best entrepreneurs from around the world that American exceptionalism is alive and well. That is why the U.S. stock market has outperformed all other country funds in the 20th and 21st centuries.

3 Energy Stocks to Buy Now

VIEW IN BROWSER

Well, folks, it looks like the two-week ceasefire that started last week is already falling apart.

This morning, President Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz after peace talks with Iran failed to produce results over the weekend.

The ultimate goal is to increase pressure on Iran to reopen the critical oil route. But the announcement sent crude oil prices surging above $100 per barrel, reigniting concerns about inflation and global economic growth.

So, I understand if some of you are feeling frozen right now. But believe it or not, there is an opportunity here.

In this week’s Navellier Market Buzz, I talk about three energy stocks that are positioned to win in this chaotic environment, along with my top pick out of the three. I also explain how the oil crisis is dragging down economic growth and preview upcoming earnings as the first-quarter earnings season kicks off this week.

Where the Next Opportunity Is Now

While the headlines may be full of geopolitical drama, that’s not the real story right now.

The real story is earnings.

I’ve always said that our best defense in chaotic times is a strong offense of fundamentally superior stocks.

That’s especially important now.

According to FactSet, S&P 500 earnings are expected to grow 12.6% this quarter, and could come in as high as 19%.

But if you’re banking on the Big Tech names to deliver the goods for your portfolio this earnings season, that could be a mistake.

Most investors remain heavily concentrated in Big Tech names, which could become a problem if they release disappointing results.

And if market leadership is shifting like I think it is, it could be an even bigger problem…

When these major tech names no longer lead the pack, that kind of concentration often leads to small or even flat returns.

In a recent presentation, I explained how leadership may be changing and where I’m seeing stronger growth opportunities.

In fact, I identified five stocks in my Accelerated Profits portfolio that I call “Edge Innovators” – and I believe they could emerge as the market’s next leaders.

OpenAI on Trial

OpenAI on Trial

Jeff Brown

Founder and CEO

Two weeks from now, “the trial of the century” will begin.

At least, that’s what some in the tech industry are referring to it as.

And for the tech industry, it’s true. It’s that important.

Originally filed on August 5, 2024, Musk v. Altman (4:24-cv-04722) is scheduled to begin with jury selection at 8 a.m. Pacific Time in the District Court in Oakland, California.

How incredible it would be… to be a juror for a case like this.

Filed August 5, 2024 | Source: Court Listener

It has become a massive case.

Already, 464 documents have been filed by Musk and the team at OpenAI.

Clearly, both sides of the table can afford the very best legal services. Regardless of who wins, the lawyers will come out on top no matter what.

The media will position this as a silly battle of the billionaires, a grudge match, or some malicious plan by the “evil” Elon Musk.

Clearly, Musk plans to bludgeon xAI’s competitor, OpenAI, to gain an advantage. So they’ll say.

But for reasons I’ll show, none of this framing is accurate.

And this court case is critically important to address.

Hopefully, it will expose the bait-and-switch tactics aiming to make tech companies appear altruistic… when their motives are clearly to enrich themselves and a small number of investors to the greatest extent possible.

The Bait

Elon Musk cofounded OpenAI with Altman and a handful of others in 2015.

OpenAI was established as a nonprofit organization with a simple goal: to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) safely and for the benefit of all humanity.

At that time, Musk and many others were concerned about the development of AGI.

Musk, in particular, was concerned that it would be programmed with bias, which would ultimately lead to dangerous outcomes.

He well understood, even back then, that users of an AGI wouldn’t be able to discern truth from falsehood; they would simply trust the “all-knowing” AGI.

That is why building an AGI on facts, evidence-based research, and neutrality is so critically important.

The problem with OpenAI, and the crux of the lawsuit, is that OpenAI committed fraud, breached its contract, and breached its implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

It did this when it pivoted to a closed-source business model and a for-profit business – designed to enrich OpenAI executives, employees, and investors.

Completely the opposite of what a nonprofit organization is supposed to be.

The Switch

OpenAI is in a pickle.

All of the above claims made by Musk’s lawsuit are factually true.

In March of 2019, OpenAI dipped its toe in the water in an effort to make the transition to a for-profit company.

It was an odd structure, making OpenAI a “capped-profit” company designed to accelerate raising a lot more capital and attracting top talent in artificial intelligence.

Source: TechCrunch

Even in 2019, OpenAI was trying to position the “capped-profit” model as altruistic: Any profits earned after the “cap” would be returned to the nonprofit arm of OpenAI.

Except there was one major issue…

For those who read the details, the “cap” was after investors had made 100 times their original investment.

Not a 50% return, not a 100%.

A 100X investment is a 9,900% return. That’s an astounding return – so large as to be extremely rare in investing.

In other words, the team at OpenAI and its investors would become very enriched in the process, leaving only what is above a 9,900% return to the OpenAI nonprofit.

We should keep in mind that the original stated goal of Altman and OpenAI back in 2015 was:

Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact.

So much for that.

And it got much worse.

With great hubris, and after the departure of most of OpenAI’s original founders (all but three), OpenAI made the full pivot to recapitalize the company and convert the for-profit arm into a for-profit Delaware public benefit corporation.

Here are the key points:

Profit caps were removed entirely
Traditional for-profit structure, while claiming to have a public benefit (public benefit corporation – PBC)
The OpenAI nonprofit became the OpenAI Foundation and holds 26% of the for-profit company
Microsoft holds 27% of the for-profit company
Employees and investors hold the remainder of the equity in the for-profit OpenAI.

Clearly, these moves by OpenAI violate its original nonprofit charter back in 2015.

And discovery in the court proceedings showed that OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman already had plans to switch OpenAI to a for-profit company while soliciting Musk for donations to the nonprofit OpenAI.

Source: LongtermWiki

And while Altman and OpenAI worked hard to get Musk’s case dismissed after the filing of the case in 2024, quite the opposite happened.

The Iran War Is Creating a Gold Rush. But Not the Kind You Think.

$361 billion flows through the gold markets every single day. That’s four times the New York Stock Exchange. A “Market Wizard” hedge fund manager has found a way to “skim” cash from all that movement – whether gold goes up or down. On March 3 alone, his followers had a chance to collect $5,145 while gold investors lost money. [See How Gold Skimming Works]

Tech Bloodbath Update: Do This Now

Did you know you could turn any crash into cash in your pocket? Jeff Brown already shared this “crash to cash” strategy with some of his readers, and they had a chance to turn… A 49% crash in Wolfspeed into a $22,500 payout… A 13% quick drop in Amer Sports into almost $25,000 in just five days… And a 21% drop in Valaris into $30,000 in just about three weeks. Click here to see the details because Jeff just issued a new “crash to cash” recommendation.

Not About the Money

The judge’s pretrial rulings not only allowed the case to proceed based on what was learned in discovery…

It also supported the further collection of evidence related to Musk’s argument in the case.

And smartly, just a few days ago, Musk amended his lawsuit to award any damages won against Altman, Brockman, and OpenAI to the nonprofit arm of OpenAI.

Said another way, Musk receives $0 when he wins the case. And the award is sent to the OpenAI nonprofit, so that it can fulfill its original nonprofit charter.

Source: Wall Street Journal

This was a very smart move by Musk, as it undermines any argument that he’s in this to profit when he wins the case.

For Musk, it’s not about the money.

It’s about the fact that Altman, Brockman, and OpenAI collected donations for a nonprofit when they were planning to convert it to a for-profit company. It’s about a bait-and-switch.

It’s about discarding the original, altruistic charter of the nonprofit and making every effort to enrich themselves and their private investors to the fullest extent possible.

All while building the most powerful – and potentially dangerous – tech of all time.

And the reality is that at any step of the way, Altman and Brockman could have simply left the nonprofit OpenAI and started their own for-profit AI company. They could have donated to the OpenAI nonprofit as well. But they didn’t. They continued to use the veneer of the “altruistic” OpenAI nonprofit and the now for-profit “public benefit” corporation as a way to raise what is now $186 billion to date.

As a private investor in hundreds of private tech deals, I don’t mind failure, and I don’t mind product pivots if something isn’t working and the team believes in the need to shift product focus. But I do mind a bait-and-switch.

I hate it when large private equity or venture capitalists come in and recapitalize the company to their benefit and to the detriment of smaller investors who provided early capital.

And I hate it when they insert terms and conditions into their investments that benefit them and the executives at the expense of smaller private investors.

I’ve seen some horrible things over the years, but the smaller investors simply don’t have the time and capital to justify a two- or three-year lawsuit against some bad actors.

Fortunately, Musk does.

Deciding the Future Foundation of AI

The implications of the outcome of this lawsuit are massive.

It will have ramifications not only for OpenAI and its nonprofit but also in the tech industry at large.

At the extreme, if the jury and judge decided to restore OpenAI to its original nonprofit charter, the for-profit arm would be dissolved and absorbed back into the nonprofit foundation.

It would also likely undo the deal with Microsoft, and any of the paper gains that Microsoft has seen with its 27% interest in the for-profit entity will disappear.

OpenAI would also lose its ability to attract top talent. This is almost certainly the reason most of the founders and employees chose to leave OpenAI and join other AI startups. They understood the risks of what might happen if OpenAI loses the case against Musk… Their equity wouldn’t be worth anything.

And many more current employees would leave the company, as the value of their equity would dissipate into the ether and the company would have very limited ability to raise additional capital to continue the work on AGI at the scale OpenAI is currently undertaking. It would become nearly impossible.

And, of course, existing investors would also leave OpenAI.

The talent and capital would flee to Anthropic, Perplexity, and a large number of smaller for-profit companies working on artificial intelligence.

Musk’s xAI has already been acquired by SpaceX, and SpaceX has already filed for its forthcoming IPO, so SpaceX won’t benefit from the capital flight, as it doesn’t need the money. And what money it needs to accelerate, it will raise in the IPO. But xAI would probably pick up some talent from OpenAI’s restructuring.

And it goes without saying that this case will become an important precedent for other AI nonprofits and trusts, hopefully putting an end to this fake altruism that has been perpetuated by the likes of Sam Bankman-Fried, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman.

Of course, Musk’s defense against OpenAI’s bait-and-switch isn’t just the lawsuit…

Obviously, he realized that no one in the industry was building a neutral, truth-seeking AI. That was the impetus for establishing xAI as a company and for accelerating the development of Grok to quickly become one of the leading frontier AI models.

Which party will win the lawsuit?

The latest Polymarket stats say Musk has only a 38% chance, reflecting more of the media narrative that the jury will see this as a silly feud levied by a billionaire.

Source: Polymarket

But I believe that the facts and circumstances revealed in the court case will open the eyes of many…

It will show that OpenAI misled many and clearly deviated from its original nonprofit charter and along the way enriched itself and large private investors, including Microsoft.

Either way, we’ll be watching closely.

Goldman Beat. Stock Fell.

Monday, April 13, 2026

The best trades aren’t on CNBC. They’re on charts nobody’s pulled up yet.

Jeff Bierman spent 38 years inside the machinery, NASDAQ market maker, Beverly Hills hedge fund, eight years building thinkorswim, and distilled the whole thing into four criteria that fire before a stock moves.

When two or more align, he sends the alert. Ticker, stock play, options play, twice a week.

Don here…

Goldman Sachs beat earnings estimates by a wide margin this morning. The stock still gapped down at the open and couldn’t recover.

Brandon Chapman caught that disconnect immediately, and it’s the setup he’s watching ahead of JP Morgan’s report tomorrow.

JP Morgan rallied to $312.75 today, its highest level since February 11th. The problem: volume was thin all session. Citigroup hit a new multi-year high on the same light tape.

Brandon’s read is that today’s price action was buyers at the ask, no resistance, no conviction. That kind of move at a higher price just bakes more risk into tomorrow’s number.

Here’s what Brandon broke down in tonight’s video:

The S&P 500 gapped from 6864 on Friday’s close to 6780 at this morning’s open, driven by Iran ceasefire rhetoric and threats to the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil pulled back from an intraday high of $105 to $97 but remains above Friday’s close, with futures structure still pricing in a real supply shortage.
XLF saw two major block trades today: a 20,000-contract call buy at the May 1st$52 strike and a 30,000-contract call buy at the May 15th $52 strike, both rolls that concentrate significant open interest at that level.
Goldman Sachs beat estimates by a substantial margin and sold off anyway, which Brandon called a direct warning about what a “positive” JP Morgan print could do to the stock tomorrow.

The $52 strike in XLF is the level to watch. Brandon laid out exactly how a drop in volatility after earnings could shrink delta fast and expose all that open interest to the downside.

Middle East Talks Break Down – What Happens Now

Diplomatic efforts fail in the Middle East… rate cuts aren’t coming any time soon… the Fed’s hands are tied… copper’s case gets stronger

VIEW IN BROWSER

This weekend’s peace talks were supposed to be the beginning of the end of the Iranian conflict…

Vice President JD Vance led the U.S. delegation to Islamabad, Pakistan, for 21 hours of negotiations. Officials were cautiously optimistic. Markets had been pricing in some probability of a diplomatic off-ramp.

Then Sunday morning, Vance announced the delegation was flying home without a deal. Iran had refused to agree to end its pursuit of nuclear weapons. Iranian negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf – also Iran’s parliamentary speaker – said the U.S. had “failed to gain the trust” of his delegation.

By last night, President Trump had announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, effective 10 a.m. Eastern this morning. U.S. Central Command later clarified that vessels traveling to non-Iranian ports wouldn’t be impeded.

Iran’s response was immediate – and targeted directly as U.S. consumers.

From Ghalibaf on social media:

Enjoy the current pump figures.

With the so-called ‘blockade,’ soon you’ll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas.

As I write on Monday, oil is pushing up toward $100 a barrel again. However, stocks are brushing off the news, betting that this is political posturing and a deal will eventually arrive.

On that note, a second round of talks remains possible. Officials say the door hasn’t closed. But “possible” and “priced in” are two very different things.

So, at least for now, the scenario that was supposed to bring energy prices down – a negotiated resolution, a reopened strait, and a return to something resembling normal shipping flows – has moved further away, not closer.

And that puts the risk of higher inflation directly in the crosshairs – which brings us directly to the Fed, upcoming interest rate policy, and your wallet…

Navellier Warns: This Could Leapfrog Elon’s SpaceX IPO

Elon Musk could take SpaceX public in 2026, at an estimated $1.75 trillion valuation. The IPO would include Elon’s AI model, Grok. But according to Louis Navellier, a radical new AI model will launch this year… over 1,000 times more powerful than Elon’s. And the company behind it could outperform SpaceX in the process. Click here for full details (including Louis’ new pick – free).

Goodbye, rate cuts

In the March Summary of Economic Projections, Federal Reserve policymakers projected one quarter-point interest rate cut by the end of the year.

Oh, how things have changed…

That projection came before oil prices surged due to the Iranian conflict… before the Strait of Hormuz closed to fertilizer and energy shipments… before gasoline topped $4 a gallon and diesel crossed $5… before last week’s two inflation reports – the February PCE on Thursday and the March CPI on Friday – that came in well above the Fed’s 2% target, with both trending in the wrong direction.

And here’s the kicker: the PCE report captures data from before the Iran war’s full inflationary impact hit the economy. The CPI tells a partial story – it picked up some of the early gas price spike, but not the full force of what’s now moving through the system.

Either way, the trajectory is clear, and the worst is still ahead in the data.

So, where does that leave rate-cut expectations?

According to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, “hold current rates steady” remains the market’s base case all the way until September.

And to be clear, that’s September of 2027.

Why the Fed is cornered

Legendary investor Louis Navellier, editor of Growth Investor, has been tracking the economic spider webs of the conflict. Here’s his take from last week:

The U.S. energy price bump is expected to ripple through other markets, as shipping costs rise and food prices increase.

So, the March data for food and energy inflation is expected to be hideous – and it won’t dissipate immediately even after a ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

It will likely be months until prices stabilize.

The numbers back that up. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) updated its inflation forecasts at the end of March, projecting that inflation for the G20 countries will rise to 4% in 2026, up from its previous 2.8% estimate.

For the U.S. specifically, the OECD now expects inflation to reach 4.2%. Some economists are projecting even higher.

Meanwhile, also in late March, Fed Governor Christopher Waller told CNBC that “oil prices are going to stay high for a long time” – an acknowledgment of how deeply the Iran conflict has complicated the Fed’s calculus.

As we’ve been tracking here in the Digest, this leaves the Fed in a bind.

Slowing growth normally calls for cuts. But with inflation at today’s levels – and headed higher – cutting now would mean pouring fuel on a fire that’s already at risk of growing out of control. So, the Fed will wait, but that will risk further punishing an already strained U.S. consumer.

The takeaway for investors is clear: If the Fed isn’t coming to save the day, you’d better be in companies with genuine structural tailwinds – businesses whose fundamental case doesn’t depend on cheaper money to work.

And right now, one commodity fits that description better than almost anything else in the market.

Copper: the wiring of an AI-powered world

While stocks rallied sharply last week, copper caught a bid of its own – jumping more than 5% to almost $6 per pound as I write on Monday. Behind that gains are investors refocusing on what actually drives this metal’s long-term story.

Our global macro expert Eric Fry, editor of Fry’s Investment Report, framed it well:

Copper has always been the wiring of the world. But now, the world is demanding more wiring than it has at any point in history.

Every macro trend that feels futuristic, electrified, digitized, or decarbonized runs straight through a fat bundle of copper.

That means AI infrastructure, electrification, decarbonization, data centers, and electric vehicles are all copper stories.

We could zoom in on any of these uses, but let’s focus on data centers to illustrate.

A modern hyperscale data center is essentially a copper-and-aluminum exoskeleton wrapped around racks of silicon. And the copper demand is enormous.

Back to Eric:

Estimates suggest data centers alone could require hundreds of thousands of tonnes of copper per year by 2030, with individual AI-focused hyperscale facilities consuming up to 50,000 tons each.

The supply side, meanwhile, is nowhere close to keeping up.

The International Copper Study Group expects the refined-copper market to flip into a deficit of roughly 150,000 tonnes this year, as mine production slows and concentrate availability tightens.

Eric puts the long-term gap in stark terms: Without more than $200 billion in new mining investment, the world simply won’t have enough copper. For context, total copper-mining investment over the past six years reached only about $76 billion.

That’s a structural supply-demand imbalance with a decade’s worth of runway behind it.

Eric isn’t our only analyst eyeing copper…

Our trading expert Jonathan Rose, editor of Masters in Trading Live, has been tracking capital flows into the copper space for months.

He flagged strong call-side flow building in copper-related names last week – and traders in his community captured double-digit gains, with several pushing into the 80%–100% range on their positions.

From Jonathan:

It’s not about chasing moves. It’s about recognizing where capital is flowing — and getting there early.

So, how do you play copper today?

Both Eric and Jonathan have independently flagged Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX).

Eric’s case centers on valuation and timing. Freeport’s flagship Grasberg mine in Indonesia – one of the world’s largest copper deposits – suffered a tragic accident in late 2025 that temporarily knocked production offline. That created a dislocation.

But as Grasberg recovers, Eric expects FCX’s EBITDA to climb from roughly $12 billion this year toward $17.5 billion by 2027 – which would put the stock trading at less than four times forward earnings at current prices.

FCX is just one name on Eric’s buy list. He also has a “drop immediately” list that flags many broadly-owned stocks he believes are at risk today – you can find his full breakdown in his free Sell This, Buy That presentation here.

Jonathan’s read on Freeport is simpler…

The options flow told the story first. He flagged strong call-side activity building in FCX last week – and the trade he recommended to his subscribers delivered.

You can get the full story in Jonathan’s free Masters in Trading Live episode from last Friday right here.

And if you’re interested in how Jonathan finds trades like this – and you want to catch them from the very beginning – he walks through his process and flags trading ideas every weekday during his free Masters in Trading Live broadcasts.

Wrapping up

Between the blockade, the Fed’s frozen hands, and the structural copper story, let’s recognize the big-picture takeaway…

The old playbook – wait for rate cuts, lean on cheap money, play the ensuing rally – doesn’t appear to be in the cards today. The investors who adapt and focus on strength independent of rate policy will be the ones best positioned for whatever comes next.

We’ll keep tracking all of it here in the Digest.

Have a good evening,

Jeff Remsburg
