On this episode of The Money Path, host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ is joined by Rob Thummel, Senior Portfolio Manager at Tortoise Capital, for a timely deep dive into the forces reshaping global energy markets. Rob explains why the geopolitical risk premium in oil is returning, driven by rising tensions in Venezuela and Iran, and why disruptions in critical shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz could send prices sharply higher. He also breaks down how supply discipline from U.S. producers and steady demand growth could help rebalance oil markets — even as volatility remains elevated. The conversation then shifts to the electricity boom, fueled by AI, data centers, and electrification. Rob outlines why natural gas is playing a central role in meeting surging power demand and highlights opportunities across electric generation, transmission, and energy infrastructure. He discusses why the U.S. is well positioned to lead the next phase of AI growth thanks to abundant, reliable energy — and why an all-of-the-above approach to power generation matters. The episode also explores U.S. energy exports, LNG’s role in global energy security, and how natural gas adoption has helped reduce emissions — offering a pragmatic blueprint for balancing growth, reliability, and sustainability. If you want a clear, forward-looking view on oil volatility, electricity demand, and where energy investment opportunities are emerging, this is an episode worth watching. 👉 Don’t forget to Like 📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Like⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👍 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Comment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔔 for more in-depth market analysis! 🔗 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosscheckmanagement.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠...⁠ 📧 Contact on Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📱 Follow us for real-time updates: LinkedIn: ⁠  / crosscheck-media-llc  ⁠ Instagram: ⁠  / crosscheckmedia  ⁠ Facebook: ⁠  / crosscheckmedia  ⁠ 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guests and hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media or Biz Talk Today TV.

Today’s episode of Wayve Wire brought together the macro headlines and the market themes investors are watching most as 2026 gets underway. Host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ was joined by Joe Besecker (CEO, Wayve Capital) and Rhys Williams (CIO, Wayve Capital) to break down the latest Jobs Report, the Fed outlook, and the growing divide between the upper and lower halves of the U.S. economy. Joe and Rhys discussed why the payroll number alone isn’t enough to force a major policy shift, but still see a path to 2–3 rate cuts in 2026 as the economy transitions. The conversation then shifted to life sciences stocks and potential M&A, with Joe predicting that large pharma and biotech firms will look to boost pipelines by acquiring small- and mid-cap companies—especially heading into the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference. Joe highlighted the Emerald Life Sciences ETF as a proxy for gaining exposure to the sector, pointing to the value of active, expert-driven ETF strategies. The panel also discussed the surge in robotics and automation, including Wayve Capital’s interest in Serve Robotics and why autonomous delivery is gaining momentum—especially as CES puts robotics front and center. They closed with a look at the oil market after Venezuela headlines, the importance of natural gas for data center expansion, and why small caps could surprise to the upside as corporate “fill-in” deals accelerate. If you want a fast-moving conversation that connects jobs, rate cuts, M&A, AI/robotics, and the next market rotation, this episode is worth watching. 👉 Don’t forget to Like 📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Like⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👍 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Comment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔔 for more in-depth market analysis! 🔗 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosscheckmanagement.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠...⁠ 📧 Contact on Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📱 Follow us for real-time updates: LinkedIn: ⁠  / crosscheck-media-llc  ⁠Instagram: ⁠  / crosscheckmedia  ⁠Facebook: ⁠  / crosscheckmedia  ⁠ 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guests and hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media or Biz Talk Today TV.
