Last week began on a strong note, with the S&P 500, Dow and the NASDAQ staying in the green until Thursday. But on Friday, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East broke the market’s winning streak. News broke that Israel conducted airstrikes against Iran, causing stocks to fall the most in nearly a month, while gold and crude oil prices surged.
Now, the fighting intensified over the weekend, but reports emerged this morning that Iran may be willing to negotiate with the U.S. to de-escalate the conflict with Israel.
What this means is that uncertainty is diminishing, and that’s good news for stocks. But there’s still a lot going on this week, including the retail sales report (Tuesday) and the Federal Reserve’s key interest rate decision (Wednesday).
So, in this week’s Navellier Market Buzz, I talk about all that and more with special guest Serge Berger. Serge is a 25-year trading veteran who lives in Zurich, Switzerland and Florida. He is the Chief Investment Strategist and Partner of Blue Marlin Advisors LLC, Head Trader at The Steady Trader website and host of a podcast called Steady Wealth.
Serge and I talked about the differences between the markets in Zurich and the U.S., income strategies, the AI trade, seasonality trends and a lot more.

The Next Financial Boom
Now, I am on record saying that the Fed is worried about an inflation “bogeyman” that doesn’t exist. If they’re smart, they’ll cut key interest rates sooner than later.
But while the Fed and geopolitical tensions grab all the headlines, I’ve been tracking a development out of Washington D.C. that has been largely ignored by the media…
It all has to do with Executive Order 14196, signed by President Trump, earlier this year.
Let me be clear: I believe this order could not only save Social Security from collapse…
But potentially boost benefits for millions of American retirees.
That’s because this order is designed to unlock a massive stream of wealth from a sector that’s completely off the radar of most investors right now.
That’s why I created a special briefing to tell you all about it. I share what’s inside this order, why it’s important and how you can profit from it.
Plus, I’ll tell you how you can gain access to an exclusive report with my top three picks being fast-tracked, thanks to this new Executive Order.
