In this episode of Monetary Matters, Jack Farley and Max Wiethe are joined by Bob Elliott, Chief Investment Officer at Unlimited Funds, to discuss the economic fallout of the recent conflict and surging oil prices. Elliott explains that the massive spike in oil prices—which recently topped $110 for Brent and $150 in Oman—will inevitably reduce consumer spending power, fuel higher inflation, and drag down real economic growth. He argues that both the stock and bond markets are currently mispricing this risk, making a strong case for that both asset classes could struggle as yields rise. Furthermore, Elliott dismisses the Federal Reserve's 2026 inflation target of 2.7% as wildly unrealistic, warning that persistent inflation will keep the Fed from cutting rates anytime soon. Finally, Jack and Max preview their upcoming interviews with industry experts to further unpack the disruptions to global oil production, fertilizer supply chains, and shipping. Recorded afternoon of March 18, 2026, after FOMC meeting.
