The interest rate debate continues as oil prices remain high — is there any hope either comes down soon? MarketBeat analyst Thomas Hughes joins the show to break down why rates are likely staying higher for longer, why oil could spike toward $110-115 before crashing once the conflict in Iran resolves, and three stocks built to handle both.
Thomas walks through why the Fed's new chair is deliberately avoiding forward guidance, what that means for investors this year, and three stocks with the balance sheets, pricing power, and reliable cash flow to hold up in this kind of environment — regardless of what rates or oil prices do next.
