What are oil prices, interest rates and inflation telling us about the direction of the economy?
On this episode of The Jay Young Show, Jay Young and co-host Jordan Soto welcome Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer of OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners, editor of The Boock Report and frequent CNBC contributor.
Peter shares his perspective on the financial markets, Federal Reserve policy and the economic forces that could have the greatest impact throughout the rest of 2026. The conversation also explores recent oil-price volatility, geopolitical risk, American energy security and whether energy remains an undervalued long-term investment opportunity.
The discussion covers:
• The strengths and warning signs in today’s economy
• Inflation, interest rates and the Federal Reserve
• What recent oil-price swings are signaling
• The possibility of oil returning above $100
• U.S. drilling, pipelines and refinery capacity
• Rising natural-gas demand from LNG exports and data centers
• How investors can remain disciplined during volatile markets
• Where the economy is gaining—or losing—traction
