Fall in to the gap\! The gap between expectations and reality, that is—always stocks’ chief driver. Today it’s a big, yawning chasm. The tragic, grinding Ukraine war, hot inflation, rising interest rates, a negative GDP quarter, central bank “tightening,” China’s lockdowns—all this and more torpedoed sentiment during 2022’s first third. Beneath this sour surface stir powerful positives—doubly strong because they are unseen. Their stealthy presence amid widespread gloom is more evidence this downturn is a classic correction, not a new bear market.

How high will it climb? Surging oil prices are stinging many. Now President Biden’s and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s bans on Russian oil spur fears of far higher oil ahead, triggering a bear market, recession and more. Nosebleed level crude prices are painful for consumers, pretty much all of them. But economically, oil has a more nuanced tale to tell. For one, the Biden-Boris bans won’t change much. They’re mostly symbolism. Importantly, high oil prices mostly shift output and consumption around. They don’t squash it outright.

CEO celebration signals rising exuberance-the kind stretching expectations to unattainable heights. The good news?
