Connection thesis
Fed Chair Powell statement that the Fed is 'limited in what it can do' about energy price spikes (18813), combined with geopolitical uncertainty driving oil prices higher and mixed equity signals (18806). This signals monetary policy passivity in the face of energy shocks, which historically precedes volatility expansion in risk assets. The constraint on Fed optionality removes a potential stabilizer.
