“Especially again, if the straight of moose opens and oil comes down, you're going to also have 10-year Treasury yields come down.”
Thesis at the time
MixedThe host suggests that if oil prices fall due to a Hormuz resolution, 10-year Treasury yields would likely come down as well, easing pressure on the Fed to hike rates. This view is conditional on the geopolitical outcome rather than a standalone directional call.
Key arguments
- Lower oil prices would reduce inflationary pressure, allowing yields to decline
- Lower yields would reduce pressure on the Fed to hike rates
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Weak jobs data is already a competing factor influencing Fed rate expectations
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- INVEST AT YOUR OWN RISK AND NEVER LISTEN TO ANYTHING SAID IN THESE VIDEOS AS FINANCIAL ADVICE
- Acknowledges uncertainty about ultimate outcome of Iran-Oman negotiations
- Notes conflict could be long-term or resolve quickly
- Recognizes counteracting forces at play
- States there is still 41% probability of Fed pause by October and 23% by December
