Vincent Deluard joins Harry on LiveSquawk's Market Talk to break down a pivotal week for global markets as the US-Israel-Iran conflict reshapes the macro landscape. The discussion unpacks the Fed's defiant hold — and why Powell's resistance to White House pressure made it the most hawkish FOMC in months without a single rate move. They examine the "Taco Trade" paradox, where equities near record highs and Brent crude at $109 are raising the question of whether investors are dangerously under-pricing a prolonged energy shock.

The episode also covers the Bank of England's surprise 9-0 unanimous hold, soaring Gilt yields, and stagflationary pressures boxing in the ECB. The conversation closes with a look at resilient US consumer data — from TSA highs to OpenTable records — and what global PMIs, UK and Australian inflation prints, and Germany's IFO index could mean for central banks weighing their next move.

Joseph Choi and David Rosenberg join LiveSquawk’s Market Talk to preview the March 2026 FOMC decision against a backdrop of surging oil prices and rising geopolitical risk. With the war in Iran driving a sharp spike in energy costs, the discussion centers on how the Fed can balance inflation pressures with signs of a weakening labor market. Rosenberg draws parallels to the 1990 Gulf War, arguing the current shock may act as a deflationary drag rather than a sustained inflation driver. The episode highlights the Fed’s likely decision to hold rates steady while navigating extreme uncertainty and the growing risk of a global slowdown.
