This is John Batcher, conversation with colleague Liz Peek,

writes a column for the Hill, writes a column for Fox News,

much on Fox Business, about the markets watching the conduct

in the Middle East of several aggressive powers attacking Israel.

The price of all moved, not profoundly, it's in the low 70s.

It's been much higher these last months. However there is this anxiety hanging

over the market that things could go very wrong. There's also concern about the

Federal Reserve will it follow through on its indications.

Liz points to a quarter point a quarter point.

There are red flags, however, and Liz Peek identifies them, especially one that I wouldn't have recognized except for Liz's guidance

has to do with Carloats.

Here's Elizabeth Peak on what to watch for in these next months after the election will the Federal Reserve continue

to lower the cost of money.

More of this tonight.

Two more cuts would make some sense. I think that's sort of two more cuts would make some sense I think that's

sort of what the dot plot looked like you know I think again I think what he's

doing is sort of talking down interest rates but my goodness there are an awful lot of

variables out there right now John we have Midee's tensions oil spike today

presumably because of those Mideeast tensions we have the dock strike. We have a labor

market that no one seems able to get their arms around partly because the

numbers from the government that have come out are so completely wack-a-doodle.
