[00:00:00]China just sided with the US on the Strait of Hormuz and that changes everything. Trump and Xi agreed that the Strait must stay open and that Iran cannot charge shipping. Markets absolutely rallied on this, the Dow reclaiming 50,000 and the S&P hitting yet another record. But here's a problem that nobody's really talking about.

[00:00:50]Yes or no, comment down below, follow and I'll see you at the opening bell.
