Summary
Are the markets ignoring the noise, or is a massive shift brewing beneath the surface? This week on Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell break down the chaotic surge in oil prices, the "proxy war" between Israel and Iran, and why the market remains less than 5% off all-time highs despite geopolitical turmoil.
Inside This Episode:

- The Oil Rollercoaster: From $130 a barrel back down to $83—analyzing the "ping-pong" volatility and its impact on your portfolio.
- Labor Market Red Flags: Record unemployment for college graduates and the "Gen Z drag" on the economy.
- Crypto vs. The Banks: The growing tension over stablecoin regulation and why Americans now hold more Bitcoin than gold.
