In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Feb 11, 2025), Samantha LaDuc explains how tariffs are inflationary, as companies immediately pass costs to consumers even before they take effect.

She highlights how oil is rising alongside yields, with a particular focus on gold—specifically GLD—amid market uncertainty.

Describing the current environment as a “cat in the hat” market, she notes that oil is bouncing due to a war premium driven by escalating geopolitical tensions.

Meanwhile, bonds have tapped back down, but for equities to see a more significant selloff, both oil and yields would need to spike further.
