Luis Plata Vargas @lplata: "Is the Oil Crisis over?..."

Australia

Is the Oil Crisis over? Not quite. ⚠️ We’ve seen Brent Crude ease off its recent highs, currently hovering around $98/barrel. While this looks like a relief for the markets, the ongoing USA/Iran tensions are still acting as a floor for prices. Until we see a definitive resolution, that "uncertainty tax" isn't going away. How I’m positioned: In times of geopolitical friction, I lean heavily into my Core-Satellite strategy. With 68% of my portfolio in diversified ETFs (like $VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF), $IDEV (iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF), and $SPYG (SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF)), I have a built-in buffer against energy-driven volatility. While I’m seeing great growth in my tech and semi satellites (shout out to $SMH (VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF) and $GOOGL (Alphabet Inc Class A)!), I’m staying disciplined. I am not chasing the oil dip; I’m staying selective and letting the core do the heavy lifting while the macro picture clears up. 🛡️ How are you hedging against energy volatility right now?
