Summary

The episode centers on market reactions to a US-Iran peace deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz, sending stocks higher and oil sharply lower. Rick Rieder outlines how the new Fed Chair may use less forward guidance and balance sheet tools, and expresses a bullish view on Bitcoin. Sylvia Jablonski and Maurits Pot discuss the booming space-themed ETF landscape after SpaceX's record IPO, with Jablonski also highlighting a philanthropic autism ETF and Pot pointing to discounted space supply-chain names EchoStar and Rocket Lab.
