This week Dr. Ed Yardeni joins the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast to analyze how the Middle East conflict and “the fog of war” are reshaping the global economic outlook. He discusses why he raised his recession odds to 35% and how current geopolitical volatility may force the Federal Reserve to pause interest rate cuts indefinitely.

The discussion also explores the risk of a 1970s-style “lost decade” versus the resilience of a more energy-independent US economy. Yardeni examines the ripple effects of oil price spikes on commodity markets, including potential shortages in fertilizer and rising food prices.
Beyond the war headlines, Yardeni breaks down why the AI revolution remains a powerful long-term productivity driver rather than a dot-com bubble repeat. He also provides a unique perspective on the leadership at the Fed and the looming liquidity risks within the private credit market.
