Sunday, 29 March, 2026

In this episode of the Market Maker Podcast, we break down the surge in oil prices, the growing risk of $200 oil, and the controversy around large trades placed just minutes before a Trump headline hit the market. Is this insider trading, smart positioning, or algorithmic momentum?We explore how markets react to political signals, why oil is so sensitive to geopolitical risk, and what could actually drive prices higher. We also take a deeper look at why both stocks and bonds are falling at the same time, and what that means for traditional portfolio strategies like the 60/40 model.If you want to understand how markets really move and how professionals navigate chaos this episode is for you.(00:00) Market Overview(05:02) Stocks & Bonds(09:22) Portfolio Risk(16:00) $200 Oil?(19:36) Demand Limits(24:30) Trump & Markets(26:14) Strait of Hormuz(35:24) Front-Running Trump?(46:55) Final Thoughts
