Energy is the "800-pound gorilla" in the markets this week. As geopolitical tensions escalate in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz becomes a critical flashpoint, products like crude oil, heating oil, and RBOB are dominating the tape. Is this a permanent shift or a temporary shock?

In this episode, host Mark Longo is joined by Brian Pieri, founder of Energy Rogue, to break down the "geopolitical premium" currently baked into energy prices. We dive deep into why energy is truly inescapable for any futures trader and why one specific product—heating oil—is outperforming the rest of the complex by nearly 30% in a single week.

In this episode, you'll learn:

The Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Why 20-25 million barrels a day are at risk and what "naval escorts" actually mean for supply.
Crude Oil Outlook: Brian's case for why WTI and Brent might actually head back to the $60s despite the headlines.
The "Heating Oil" Phenomenon: Analyzing the massive spread between gasoline (RBOB) and distillates.
The Trading Pit: Winners and losers in Silver, Palladium, and a surprising rally in Bitcoin futures.
