Zero Sum

On Saturday the 20th of June, 2026, Iran announced closure yet again for the Strait of Hormuz...

The US and Iran have confirmed a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, ending a 3.5-month blockade that choked off roughly a fifth of global oil flows. Markets reacted fast.

Asian stocks surged as much as 5.7%, and Brent crude fell more than 4% in early Monday trading. The winners and losers are already taking shape. Airlines, hammered all year by sky-high jet fuel costs, are the most obvious beneficiaries. Tankers, the hot trade of Q1, face a sharp reversal. But this isn't a light switch, mines still need clearing, and infrastructure damage across the Gulf means the reopening will be gradual. So what does it actually mean for your money, and where should you be putting it?

Wajeeh Khan, Invezz stock market analyst, joins Lead News Editor Harsh to break it down.

SpaceX is going public, and the numbers are staggering. A $1.75 trillion valuation and a $75 billion raise make this one of the most anticipated, and most controversial, IPOs in Wall Street history. But is it actually worth it?In this episode of Invezz Zero Sum, host Harsh Vardhan sits down with David Morrison, Senior Market Analyst at Trade Nation, to break down what SpaceX's IPO really means for investors. They dig into how the company is being valued, what risks the market might be ignoring, and whether retail investors should be excited... or very, very cautious.If you have ever wondered how a rocket company gets valued higher than most of the world's economies, this is the episode for you.Biggest IPO in history: Let's work out if it's worth buying.00:00 SpaceX Launch01:00 Welcome to Zero Sum02:30 Marmite Musk: Love Him or Hate Him04:00 $75 Billion for a Company That Lost $5 Billion05:45 The 42% Voting Power Problem08:30 Will This Money Fund a Trip to Mars?11:30 The Starlink Bet14:15 The Kill Switch Problem15:30 xAI: An "Indeterminate" Moat18:30 Morningstar's Bearish Case22:00 Markets vs National Security23:15 Bullish, Bearish & Wildcard25:30 Living Forever: The AI Healthcare Wildcard27:45 Sign OffTune in to more of David Morrison's insights at TradeNation:

Elon Musk filed the paperwork on April 1. No, really.

In this episode of Zero Sum, I'm joined by Wajeeh Khan — stock market analyst at Invezz — to break down what the SpaceX IPO actually means for markets, for retail investors, and for the question nobody on Wall Street wants to answer out loud: is a $1.75 trillion valuation real, or is it the most expensive story ever sold on a Nasdaq listing?

We get into why Starlink is carrying the entire financial case for a company that lost nearly five billion dollars last year, what the xAI merger actually did to the balance sheet, and whether allocating 30% of the IPO to retail investors is democratisation — or just very elegant distribution.

Rockets. Satellites. AI losses. Bitcoin on the balance sheet. Data centres in orbit. It's all in here.

Biggest IPO in history. Let's work out if it's worth buying.

Trump landed in Beijing. Xi was waiting. And somewhere on Air Force One, Jensen Huang was probably thinking about chip export controls.

In this episode of Zero Sum, I am joined by Clem Chambers — investor, author, and CEO of aNewFN— to break down what the Trump-Xi summit actually means for markets, for the AI war, and for the Taiwan question that nobody in the room wanted to answer out loud. We get into why artificial intelligence has become the single most contested battleground in US-China relations, whether the billionaire delegation was genuine diplomacy or very expensive theatre, and what Clem is bullish on, bearish on, and watching closely as the dust settles.

Big trip. Bigger stakes. Let's work out who's actually winning.

Elon Musk gave $38 million to a nonprofit. That nonprofit is now worth $852 billion. And Elon wants $134 billion of it back. Welcome to the most expensive donor's remorse in Silicon Valley history. This week on Zero Sum, we dig into the trial that could blow up the biggest IPO Wall Street has ever seen — a company losing $14 billion a year, a CEO with zero equity, and a courtroom bombshell where Musk admitted his own AI trained on OpenAI's models.
