INSIGHT

Why Oil Prices Complicate Fed Decisions

  • The Fed can influence broad inflation and economic contagion, but it cannot directly control oil prices driven by geopolitical shocks.
  • Energy prices repeatedly moved from $70 to above $100 as tensions started and stopped, complicating rate decisions.

Option Income Can Complement Higher Rates

  • Income investors may continue using option-premium strategies even as rates rise, because these strategies source income from market volatility rather than only bonds.
  • Higher rates still improve returns on cash, CDs, and money-market holdings.

Goldman Gives NEOS More Room To Innovate

  • Goldman Sachs’ acquisition gives NEOS greater infrastructure, distribution, and global reach while preserving its investor-first, solutions-based approach.
  • Goldman’s roughly $3.5 trillion platform may also expand NEOS’s ability to innovate across asset classes.
