In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down why professional investors pay close attention to Treasury yields, crude oil, interest rates, inflation, the U.S. dollar, and commodities before they make decisions in the stock market. Most retail investors wake up asking, “What is the stock market doing today?” Ross explains why that may be the wrong question. The better question is: what are bonds and oil telling us before stocks begin to move? Ross explains how the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield impacts mortgage rates, auto loans, commercial real estate financing, corporate borrowing, business growth, and how Wall Street values companies like Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, and Amazon. He also breaks down why rising interest rates can hurt high-growth stocks and why future earnings become less valuable when the cost of money goes up. This episode also dives into the power of the 30-year Treasury bond, why Ross views it as Wall Street’s long-term opinion on America’s future, and what higher yields may signal about inflation, debt, uncertainty, and the economy. Ross then shifts to oil prices, explaining why crude oil is much more than just the price of gas. Oil affects trucking, shipping, airlines, manufacturing, packaging, agriculture, construction, food distribution, and nearly every business on earth. From the 1973 Arab oil embargo to the Iranian Revolution, the Gulf War, and the Russia-Ukraine war, Ross explains how oil shocks have historically impacted inflation, interest rates, investor confidence, and the stock market. If you want to become a smarter investor, this episode explains why you should stop only watching stock charts and start studying the forces that move stocks: bonds, oil, inflation, interest rates, earnings, investor psychology, and the Federal Reserve. Ross Mandell gives investors a clear lesson: stocks are the movie, but bonds write the script. This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice.
