Iran Conflict Fuels Global Uncertainty Despite Surge in U.S. Stock Futures

Patrick L. Young, Chairman and founder of Exchange Invest, joins Remy Blaire to dive into the rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, focusing primarily on the tensions surrounding Iran and its impact on global markets. U.S. stock futures surged by around 2% following President Trump’s temporary halt on attacks against Iranian energy infrastructure. However, the situation remains precarious, with Iran launching ballistic missiles towards a U.S.-UK military base in the Indian Ocean and ongoing threats from Trump regarding Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Patrick emphasizes the current state of the Iranian regime, which he believes is nearing its end, and discusses the implications for the Strait of Hormuz and global oil supply. He argues that while the situation is tense, the global oil supply chain is not as critical as some may suggest, with Saudi Arabia already adapting its operations to bypass the Strait.

We also explore the situation in Cuba, where nationwide blackouts are occurring due to a cut-off in oil supply from the U.S. Patrick suggests that military action from the U.S. is unnecessary, as internal pressures in Cuba are likely to lead to significant change in the near future.

Finally, we touch on the postponed summit between Trump and China’s Xi Jinping, with Patrick noting that while the summit will eventually happen, the ongoing conflicts are causing delays in negotiations.

Gas Prices and Global Tensions: What It Means for the U.S. Economy Moving Forward

Luke Lloyd, CEO and founder of Lloyd Financial Group, joins Remy Blaire to delve into the current state of the U.S. stock market, particularly in light of recent geopolitical tensions involving Iran. U.S. stock futures are rallying as President Donald Trump announces a five-day postponement of military strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, although Iran’s foreign ministry denies any ongoing talks. This situation has led to fluctuations in oil futures and elevated treasury yields, with the odds of a rate hike hovering around 20%.

Luke emphasizes that the current market conditions are likely to be short-term and suggests that oil prices may stabilize in the $80 to $70 range, which would alleviate inflationary pressures. Luke believes that the chances of a rate hike are minimal, viewing this as a potential bullish signal for the market.

We also discuss discounts across sectors, including banks, retailers, and big tech. Luke points out that many stocks are trading below historical price-to-earnings ratios, indicating potential buying opportunities. He highlights specific stocks, such as Prudential Financial and Intuit, as good additions to portfolios.

Shifting our focus to the bond market, Luke notes that rising treasury yields suggest some inflationary pressure, but he believes that the liquidity in the system, driven by government spending and corporate investments, remains strong. This liquidity is a bullish signal for the market, despite the ongoing uncertainty.

Finally, we touch on the impact of rising gasoline prices on consumers and the economy. Luke reassures listeners that while higher gas prices are a concern, the economy is less reliant on oil than it was in the 1970s. He remains optimistic about the potential for a long-term resolution in the Middle East, which could open up trade and benefit global markets.

How FinTech Companies Make Mone: Melio

In this episode, we break down how FinTech companies like Melio actually make money. Melio is an SMB bill pay and receivables platform designed to make paying and getting paid feel as easy as sending a text. Businesses can pay vendors by ACH, credit card even when the vendor doesn’t accept cards or by check, all while keeping everything synced with accounting software like QuickBooks. Vendors don’t even need to sign up to get paid, making admin work painless. So how does Melio generate revenue? Through card payment fees, premium delivery options like expedited checks or real-time international payments, international transfer fees, and embedded partner distribution via syndication with platforms and financial institutions like Shopify and Pfizer. The numbers speak volumes: in June 2025, Xero announced a $2.5 billion acquisition of Melio, citing 80,000 SMB customers, $30+ billion in payout volume, and $153 million in FY25 revenue, with the deal completed by October 2025. Melio’s moat lies in its simplicity, deep accounting integrations, and partnerships that place it where SMBs already operate. By combining workflow and payment rails, Melio keeps cash flow flexible, monetizes organization, and scales through partners turning chaotic accounts payable into a smooth, manageable process.

Cybersecurity in 2026: Post-Quantum Readiness, AI Threats & Decentralized Defense

Youssef El Maddarsi, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of Naoris Protocol, joins us live from the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange to discuss the future of cybersecurity in an increasingly complex digital world. He explains how resilience in 2026 has evolved beyond traditional perimeter defense into continuous validation, decentralized infrastructure, and quantum-ready systems.

From 2017 to Now: How Early AI Investors Are Winning Big

Zach Bratun Glennon, General Partner at Gradient Ventures, joins to discuss the firm’s early conviction in artificial intelligence and how that foresight is shaping today’s investment landscape. Having focused exclusively on AI since 2017, shortly after the groundbreaking transformer research from Google, Zach explains how his background in engineering and data science helped identify the massive potential of AI long before it became mainstream. He shares insights into Gradient’s recently oversubscribed $220 million Fund V, highlighting the surge in investor interest, rapid growth in AI startups, and the expanding ecosystem of founders building in the space. The conversation also tackles the so-called “SaaS apocalypse,” with Zach offering a more measured perspective arguing that rather than a collapse, the sector is undergoing a repricing as AI-native companies reshape the competitive landscape. Looking ahead, he emphasizes how AI-driven innovation will continue to redefine software, creating new opportunities while challenging traditional business models.

From Nevada to National Security: The Race to Build U.S. Tungsten Supply


Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal Resources, joins from the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange following a major milestone for the company. Fresh off the bell podium, Oliver shares how the firm is advancing plans to develop two new tungsten mines in Nevada, positioning itself at the center of a critical supply chain opportunity. He explains the importance of tungsten one of the densest metals with the highest melting point and its essential role across defense, aerospace, energy, semiconductors, and renewable technologies. With over 90% of global supply currently dominated by countries like China, Russia, and North Korea, Guardian’s mission to build domestic U.S. production carries significant national security implications. The conversation also highlights why Nevada is a premier mining jurisdiction, the company’s strategic advantage operating on U.S. soil, and how access to U.S. capital markets will accelerate drilling, engineering, and development efforts. Looking ahead, Oliver outlines the company’s roadmap to bring these projects into production by 2028, marking a pivotal step toward strengthening domestic resource independence.

SLR Relief Ends: The Fed’s Hidden Move That Shook Banks

In this episode of Money20/20, Hindsight, Scarlett Sieber rewinds five years to March 19th, 2021, when the Federal Reserve announced it would not extend Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) relief, a pandemic-era measure that temporarily eased capital requirements for banks. Essentially, banks had been able to ignore certain assets like Treasuries and Fed deposits when calculating leverage a regulatory “work from home in sweatpants” moment. But on that day, the sweatpants era ended. Banks suddenly needed more capital, Treasury markets shifted, dealer inventories adjusted, bond yields moved, and fixed income traders felt the impact immediately. Though not headline-grabbing, this plumbing-level event reshaped balance sheet management and liquidity across the financial system. The lesson? Temporary relief is exactly that temporary and banking stability is built one disciplined rule at a time, even in chaotic markets.

Resonate Wealth Insights: Market Volatility, Oil Shocks & Defensive Investing

Alex Guiliano, Chief Investment Officer at Resonate Wealth Partners, joins us on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange to break down a volatile session marked by heavy options activity and heightened geopolitical uncertainty. With markets deep in what he describes as the “middle phase” of a geopolitical event, Alex explains how investors should think about volatility, drawing parallels to past shocks like the Russia-Ukraine War. He highlights how oil price surges impacting both inflation and equities are often driven by short-term headlines, urging investors to focus instead on whether these shifts represent structural changes or temporary disruptions. The conversation also explores how markets can move ahead of sentiment, why waiting for clarity may mean missing opportunities, and how investors are reassessing portfolio positioning after a strong year for equities. Looking ahead, Alex shares insights on defensive strategies, including dividend-paying stocks and potential opportunities emerging from recent market pullbacks, emphasizing the importance of staying disciplined and using volatility as a chance to reset long-term investment strategies.
