US stocks fell to new session lows, oil prices extended their gains above 7%, while the US dollar and gold rose.This episode features: Gregg Roman, Executive Director of the Middle East Forum Dana Stroul, Senior Fellow and Director of Research at the the Washington Institute for Near East Policy Jay Neveloff, Partner and Chair of Real Estate, US at Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Elissa Sangster, Chief Executive Officer of the Forté Foundation See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
