In this episode of The Morning Filter podcast, co-hosts Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss the market’s latest response to the ongoing war in Iran and explain what oil futures are telling investors. They unpack what’s going on in fixed income globally and whether the worst is yet to come in the private credit market. Tune in to find out just how big Morningstar’s fair value increase is on Micron after earnings and what drove an upgrade in Nvidia’s fair value, too.

Speaking of fair value changes, the co-hosts answer a viewer question about why Oracle’s ORCL fair value has moved around so much lately. They wrap up with some attractive stocks to buy of companies that are brand powerhouses.
