Why Does a Crypto Billionaire Get a Pardon While Your Savings Shrink?

Introduction:
In today’s episode, we break down three major developments shaping the global financial landscape. First, Brent crude oil prices surged by 5% following new US sanctions targeting Russia’s top oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil. This unprecedented move aims to cut off critical energy revenue to Moscow and marks a pivotal shift in US policy — but what does it mean for global oil markets and geopolitical stability? Next, we examine the US rental market, where single-family rent growth has slowed to a 15-year low. Fueled by a construction boom, this cooling trend offers vital clues about the Federal Reserve’s approach to future interest rate cuts amid easing inflation pressures. Finally, we analyze Tesla’s 37% plunge in profits despite revenue growth and its broader impact on the tech sector. Tesla’s costly AI investments and an ongoing price war highlight the risks in today’s market rally, challenging investor optimism ahead of key earnings reports.
