  • What matters more, uptrending productivity growth or escalating war?

    What matters more, uptrending productivity growth or escalating war?
    Mar 5 2026
    We explore whether accelerating productivity growth or escalating geopolitical conflict will matter more for markets. Darius explains that while AI-driven productivity gains are bullish for long-term corporate profits, the near-term market impact is likely to be driven by inflation risk tied to rising energy prices and war in the Middle East, which is already forcing investors to reassess Fed rate-cut expectations.

    Is this the start of WWIII?
    Mar 3 2026
    In today’s Macro Minute, Darius breaks down escalating U.S.–Iran tensions and addresses whether markets should fear the start of World War III. While energy markets are reacting to supply shock risks and volatility has picked up, the highest-probability outcome remains that this episode will pass — and ultimately leave asset markets in a healthier position by unwinding crowded bullish positioning. As always, the focus remains on systematic execution through KISS and Dr. Mo rather than reacting emotionally to geopolitical headlines.
