Summary

Yesterday, oil prices surged in response to the president's announcement that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire was over. Today, we dig into this morning’s dip in oil prices, responses from the bond market, and what it all could mean for future moves by the Federal Reserve. Plus, major artists like Meghan Trainor, Post Malone, and the Pussycat Dolls have canceled summer tours. These cancellations come as the costs of going on tour have climbed and as fans become more careful about where they spend.

this morning after yesterday's increases.

So that means that this morning, well, some of that sentiment or some of those fears yesterday

0:48.4

have eased back.

0:50.3

And that means that the market has taken the additional conflict that we've seen from both

1:24.6

interest rates in the economy are going to be.

1:29.7

Yields on the 10-year have gone up.

1:31.8

So what does that mean?
