War or Peace? Here’s How the Market Is Leaning
Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999
Back to the negotiating table… Which way the market is leaning… This inflation indicator just hit a three-year high… Scott Bessent speaks and Kevin Warsh discloses… Last call for the ‘Shadow Data Indicator’…
On it goes…
After hitting a stalemate this weekend, the U.S. and Iran are reportedly gearing up for another round of talks before the initial two-week “double-sided ceasefire” expires on April 21.
As the New York Post reports…
Additional US-Iran peace talks “could be happening over next two days” in Pakistan’s capital, President [Donald] Trump told The Post on Tuesday.
In an initial phone interview, Trump had claimed that discussions were “happening, but, you know, a little bit slow” before indicating that a second round of direct negotiations to end the seven-week war would likely happen somewhere in Europe.
About half an hour later, Trump called back with an update.
“You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we’re more inclined to go there,” he said of Islamabad.
It sure looks like Trump wants a deal. But as we explained yesterday, he also doesn’t want Iran to have any nuclear-weapons capability, which seems to be a nonnegotiable point for the current Iranian regime.
So now we have a U.S. “blockade” of Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf. The U.S. military has 10 warships, a submarine, and an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
As we discussed yesterday, war-driven oil and gas supply disruptions are set to hit various countries this week as the last Middle Eastern shipments arrive. Meanwhile, OPEC’s oil production is down about 30% from prewar levels, and regional energy infrastructure has been caught in the crossfire.
The fork in the road ‒ or gulf, as it were…
The longer the current situation goes on, the higher oil prices can go… though the opposite is also true. The sooner the war ends, the quicker oil prices could go back to normal, meaning typical supply and demand trends. As Stansberry’s Investment Advisory lead editor Whitney Tilson wrote in his free daily e-letter yesterday…
My view is more optimistic. The U.S. Navy will only be prohibiting ships traveling to and from Iranian ports, not all traffic. Most importantly, it doesn’t appear that Trump is eager to renew the aggressive bombing campaign, much less order a ground troop deployment.
So my advice to long-term-oriented investors remains the same: Ignore the headlines related to Iran (and other geopolitical conflicts), and focus on the fundamentals of the U.S. stock market.
Mr. Market was also optimistic today, with enough investors banking on the war ending soon and oil and gas flowing at prewar levels.
Oil futures were down today on the reports of more U.S.-Iran talks. Brent crude was down 4% to $95 per barrel, and West Texas Intermediate was down roughly 7% to around $92 per barrel.
And the major U.S. stock indexes were higher across the board, with the benchmark S&P 500 up about 1%, back near an all-time high. Many foreign markets also moved higher, though they haven’t broken their prewar levels yet.
Turning to inflation…
This morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”) released its producer price index (“PPI”) inflation data for March. Last month, the PPI rose 0.5% month over month and 4% year over year.
Both of those figures came in lower than Wall Street expected, indicating that wholesale inflation didn’t spike as much as feared during the first month of the conflict with Iran. Still, PPI has been in a worrying uptrend…
Over the past two years, the rate of producer inflation has doubled from a 2% annual increase to 4% in March. That’s also the highest reading in three years. So while today’s release wasn’t as bad as feared, the strong uptrend in the rate of inflation continues.
Today’s report follows Friday’s consumer price index (“CPI”) report, which showed that prices rose 0.9% month over month and 3.3% year over year. That year-over-year increase was the fastest for the CPI since June 2024.
Energy prices are mainly to blame…
In March, the energy component of the PPI rose 8.5% month over month. In fact, most of the PPI increase can be attributed to higher energy prices. From the BLS’s report…
More than three-quarters of the broad-based March advance can be traced to an 11.3-percent jump in prices for processed energy goods.
In last week’s CPI report, energy prices spiked more than 10% from February to March, with gasoline prices surging more than 20%. As in the PPI report, energy prices accounted for nearly 75% of CPI’s increase in March.
You can see how big of a problem the Iran war will be the longer it goes on.
The Federal Reserve’s ‘wait and see’ approach has a new, important backer…
While speaking at the Semafor World Economy conference today, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Fed is “doing the right thing” by holding interest rates steady with the uncertainty surrounding oil prices and Iran.
He added that “eventually” he’d like to see lower interest rates, but for now “we have to wait and see.”
Bessent reports to Trump, so unless he went rogue with these comments (which seems unlikely), it appears the White House has changed its tone on interest rates – adopting, dare we say, a modicum of patience.
Over his two presidential terms, Trump has railed against current Fed Chair Jerome Powell, urging him to lower rates.
But now that Powell’s term as central bank head is ending next month, Bessent’s comments offer a supportive backdrop for Trump’s Fed chair nominee, Kevin Warsh.
As the new Fed head, Warsh would find it hard to justify immediate rate cuts with the pace of inflation rising.
Bessent’s comments also give Warsh the appearance of the ability to be “independent” ahead of his upcoming nomination hearings in front of Congress, which could help get votes from skeptics.
Assuming Warsh gets the job, we’ll see how long the “wait and see” support lasts – especially if overall Fed sentiment turns to “higher for longer”…
At the same conference, Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee said that rate cuts may need to be pushed out to 2027 because the drop in inflation that he expected hasn’t materialized.
The market is on the same page.
According to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, traders are pricing in a near certainty that the Fed holds interest rates steady over the next three meetings. And a rate cut isn’t seen as likely until July 2027.
Speaking of Kevin Warsh…
In the March 17 Digest, we asked (half-jokingly) if anyone had seen Kevin Warsh. Since his nomination at the end of January, we’ve heard very little – if anything – from the Fed chair-to-be.
But now we’ve had (a little) movement…
This week, Warsh filed his financial disclosures, which he was required to do before his Senate nomination hearing. (Between Warsh and his wife, Jane Lauder – who is the granddaughter of the founder of Estée Lauder – they have financial holdings of almost $200 million, at least).
According to CNBC, Warsh will now have to answer a questionnaire from the Senate Banking Committee. It’s the last hurdle before the hearing is scheduled.
So the wheels are starting to turn. But it’s possible Warsh’s appointment – set for May 15 – could be delayed.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina has threatened to block Warsh’s confirmation while the Justice Department is still investigating Powell over the Fed building renovations kerfuffle.
If, for any reason, Warsh isn’t approved by May 15, Powell will remain in his position. Such a scenario would add more uncertainty into the market.
However, if March’s upward inflation trend continues into the summer, the Fed’s “wait and see” approach should remain, no matter who’s head of the Fed.
Finally, last call…
We’ve recently shared several stories about the unconventional ways people from various walks of life have made hundreds of billions of dollars during their careers…
Like how a horse-racing bettor beat 100-million-to-1 odds to win a $16 million jackpot in Hong Kong – after being booted from the Las Vegas casinos for successfully counting cards…
Or how the short-seller Michael Burry spent around $100 for data that helped him predict the heart of the great financial crisis…
We also told you about how Walmart founder Sam Walton flew a private airplane to scout future store locations and keep tabs on his competitors’ and his company’s performance (by looking at how many cars were in the parking lots) as Walmart grew into America’s largest retailer.
Finally, we shared a new, free presentation from Josh Baylin, our in-house expert and tech insider who has spent years developing his own unique, alternative method to find asymmetric returns. As we explained last week, it’s called the “Shadow Data Indicator”…
This indicator analyzes public, overlooked data from the “beating heart of the tech world” to find the biggest, fastest gains available in the market.
Since 2017, this trading strategy has flagged 422 winners and could have turned a $10,000 position in each of them into nearly $620,000.
This hedge-fund-caliber strategy could be the elixir for the volatility we’ve seen so far in 2026, which is likely to continue in the months ahead. As our expert said, “Volatility isn’t a flaw or a bug in the system. It is the system.”
The Shadow Data Indicator system is designed to give everyday investors the type of edge that’s typically reserved for Wall Street… and to spot trading opportunities that can deliver triple-digit gains in 90 trading days, regardless of what happens in the overall market.
Tonight is your final chance to hear all the details from Josh.
The presentation goes offline at midnight Eastern time tonight. So, if you’re interested, click here now to watch before it’s too late.
You’ll learn about Josh’s “mosaic” trading approach and get a pair of free stock recommendations (one to buy and one to sell) just for tuning in. You’ll also hear Josh’s thoughts on the market right now – like how AI is driving disruption and what it means for you. As Josh says during the event…
AI is advancing way quicker than any other technology in history [and] you have a front-row seat to watching it play out, in a fraction of the time. But if there’s one thing you remember from this event, let it be this…
Everything from my years at the top levels of tech and finance tells me… Things will work out just fine for your wealth in the end. Terrific even. You just need to have a dependable strategy.

Today’s Night Prayer is brought to you by Catholic Company
A Night Prayer
Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.
Quote of the Day
“If anyone in word and mind does not properly and truly confess according to the holy Fathers all even to the last portion that which has been handed down and preached in the holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church of God…let him be anathema.” -Pope St. Martin I
Today’s Meditation
Amendment of life is the proof of true conversion. Without it, confession and satisfaction are useless. Confession removes the obstacles to the attainment of grace, and the self-sacrifice characteristic of satisfaction is efficacious only when undergone by the soul united to God. Repentance without amendment is mere sentiment. —John Kane, pg. 89

Examination of Conscience
The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.
Reflect on the victories and losses
Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.
- Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
- In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
- Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
- Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Practice gratitude
It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.
- Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
- What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
- Thank God for all these moments!
- Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.
Renew your commitment to Christ
Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.
- Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
- Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
- If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
- Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.

End Bird Netting: A New Campaign to Expose a Ignored Wildlife Crisis
APR 14READ IN APP
Walk through almost any town or city in Britain and you’ll see it if you know where to look; green plastic mesh stretched over hedges, trees wrapped like packages, buildings draped in almost invisible barriers.
At first glance it looks harmless, just another piece of urban infrastructure. But look closer and you begin to see the truth. Birds trapped alive, their suffering ignored, left to die.
Image from Humane Wildlife Solutions.
Bird netting is often installed to stop birds nesting, roosting, raiding bins, perching or feeding in certain areas, but it does not work effectively, depsite this it is widely used across the UK, companies ignore the serious welfare concerns that come hand in hand with bird netting. And yet the real scale of the problem remains largely invisible.
Until now.
Today we’re launching a new national campaign website designed to change that.
Introducing End Bird Netting
Protect the Wild has launched a new website dedicated to exposing, documenting and ultimately ending harmful bird netting across the UK.
The aim is simple: shine a light on a problem that has been allowed to remain largely invisible, show the scale of the problem.
Bird netting is often installed out of sight, behind construction hoardings, high on buildings, or wrapped around vegetation before the nesting season begins. In many cases it is used specifically to stop birds from accessing certain areas.
While birds and their nests are protected under UK law, the practice of installing netting harms them, and is often marketed as a humane alternative to fatal management practices. However, bird netting is ineffective, inhumane, and indiscriminate.
The End Bird Netting campaign exists to expose this reality, and to build the evidence needed to change it.
What the new campaign website does
For the first time, the End Bird Nettingwebsite creates a national platform for documenting bird netting incidents. The site allows anyone, from wildlife rescuers to concerned resident, to report cases where birds have been trapped in netting, whether alive, injured or dead. It also provides a “what you need to know” page if you are seeking advise on how to rescue alive birds.
By collecting these reports from across the country, the campaign will begin to build a national picture of a problem that has never been systematically recorded.
Every report helps. Every photograph matters. Every location adds to the evidence.
Through the website, supporters can:
- Report birds, dead or alive, trapped in netting
- Submit photographs and evidence
- Document incidents across towns and cities
- Expose companies and developers responsible for animal suffering
- Help build a national record of the problem
- Help identify potential prosecutable offences
The site also provides clear information about humane alternatives, practical solutions that allow buildings and infrastructure to coexist with wildlife rather than excluding it.
Image taken by Humane Wildlife Solutions at the Mercure Hotel, Nottingham.
Why ending bird netting matters
At its core, bird netting reflects a deeper problem in how we treat urban wildlife. Across the UK, development pressure is pushing nature into ever smaller spaces. Trees, hedges and buildings that once supported nesting birds are disappearing, or being deliberately blocked off. Instead of designing cities that make room for wildlife, we are increasingly designing them to keep wildlife out. Bird netting is one of the clearest examples of this.
It is indiscriminate: It does not distinguish between species. Sparrows, pigeons, starlings, swifts, birds of prey, even different animals like rats, mice, and bats are at risk.
It is inhumane: Birds can become trapped, injured or left to die in the mesh.
It is ineffective: Bird netting does not work, birds still find ways in, and still become trapped, or entangled, leading to mortalities.
And perhaps most importantly, it is often unnecessary. But as long as the scale of the problem remains hidden, change will be slow. That is exactly what this campaign intends to change.
Building a national movement
Ending bird netting will not happen through one organisation alone.
It will take a movement. That means working together, across the entire wildlife community and beyond.
The End Bird Netting campaign aims to bring together:
• wildlife rescue groups
• campaigners and activists
• ecologists and scientists
• members of the public
• journalists and investigators
• organisations advocating for urban wildlife
Because every time someone reports an incident, every time a rescuer documents a trapped bird, every time a local community challenges a harmful installatin, the pressure grows. Evidence builds. And the argument for change becomes impossible to ignore.
How you can help
The success of this campaign depends on people on the ground.
People who notice. People who document. People who refuse to walk past suffering wildlife and pretend it isn’t happening.
Here’s how you can help right now:
- Report trapped birds
If you see birds caught in netting, alive or dead, submit the details through the campaign website. Note, netting must contain dead or alive birds. - Submit evidence
Photos, locations, dates and species information help build the national evidence base needed to push for change. - Share the campaign
The more people who know about this issue, the harder it becomes to ignore. - Work with local groups and councils
Communities can challenge harmful installations and push for wildlife-friendly alternatives. - Expose harmful netting
Developers, contractors and property owners must be held accountable when wildlife is harmed and netting is not maintained.
This is how change starts. With evidence. With visibility. With people refusing to look away.
A dead baby pigeon, trapped in netting, credit Humane Wildlife Solutions.
This is not wildlife management
Bird netting is often presented as a practical solution. A simple fix. A necessary inconvenience. But let’s call it what it really is.
It is wildlife exclusion.
It is a symptom of a planning system that still treats nature as an obstacle rather than something to protect. Our towns and cities belong to wildlife too. Swifts have nested in our buildings for centuries. Sparrows have lived alongside us for generations. Starlings once filled our skies in their thousands. Pigeons have helped the Uk win wars… they all deserve more than plastic mesh.They deserve space. They deserve compassion.
And with enough people speaking up, documenting the problem, and demanding better, we can end harmful bird netting for good.
Visit our site: End Bird Netting.
Help fund our work to Protect the Wild
We’re not afraid to try everything in the fight for British wildlife – from undercover investigations and viral animations, to protests, hard-hitting reports, political lobbying, and even standing for public office.
We believe in doing what others won’t. In trying what hasn’t been tried. And in saying things exactly as they are.
And we’re powered entirely by you.
We don’t rely on big donors or hidden backers. Our strength comes from thousands of ordinary people giving a few pounds a month – and together, that becomes unstoppable.
Right now, our goal is 200 new monthly supporters.
We’re already at 51 in just the first week of this month.
If you believe in what we’re building and want to be part of one of the fastest-growing animal protection movements in the UK, please consider joining us and chipping in a few pounds a month.
Thank you for standing with us.

Today is Yom HaShoah—Holocaust Remembrance Day. The sad reality is that even as we pause to remember the slaughter of innocent Jewish people in the past, there are many today who are trying to finish the job that Hitler started. As a result, there are tens of thousands of suffering Jewish people in Israel right now. I’m asking you to touch their lives in Christian love and help meet their most critical needs today. We have received a generous matching gift challenge that will double your gift to help twice as many people—so please be as generous as you can when you send your gift today.
The situation is urgent. So many people have lost homes, family members, and even everything they owned in the missile attacks. I’m thinking about families like the Cohens. They buried six family members on the day their son was supposed to have his bar mitzvah. We helped them with the medical bills, buying clothing, and more, and they were so grateful. But there are so many others in urgent need.
The people of Israel are suffering greatly right now, and while they need our prayers, they also need our help. Together we are answering the command of God, “Comfort ye My people.” Together we are telling, and more importantly showing, the people of Israel that they are not alone. Please send your most generous gift today and share this with everyone you know.

Your support of the Friends of Zion today allows us to comfort the people of Israel who have survived the terrorist attacks, minister to the families of the hostages, continue to purchase and deliver food, medicine, clothing, and other necessities of life for the poor Holocaust survivors and refugees of Ukraine, continue to operate the Friends of Zion Museum, and to meet urgent humanitarian needs among the poor Jewish people living in Israel. Thank you so much for being part of this vital worldwide prayer movement.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
