  • War, Markets, and Your Money: What the Middle East Crisis Means for Your Finances

    War, Markets, and Your Money: What the Middle East Crisis Means for Your Finances
    Jun 23 2025
    Today, we’re dropping a special bonus episode of HerMoney, tackling the headlines that are keeping us up at night, and unpacking what they really mean for your financial future. As tensions rise in the Middle East, the U.S. has officially entered the war with military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Markets are up (for now), oil prices are jittery, and inflation remains a wild card. To help us break it all down, Jean is joined by Ben Wheeler, international relations analyst and co-host of the Unclassified podcast. Together, they explore how geopolitical conflict impacts everything from your 401(k) to the gas pump. So, should you be looking at defense stocks? Is now the time to hold more cash or invest in energy? Could a gold or oil play be smart right now, and what about crypto? If you’re wondering how to shore up your financial house in uncertain times, this is the conversation you need to hear.
