    Sam Salet scalps NQ and ES futures on the one-minute chart using footprint charts, order flow, and volume profile — and in this interview, he breaks down the distinction that separates profitable order flow traders from everyone else: knowing whether the volume you're looking at is someone entering a position or someone exiting one. We also get into why he abandoned the depth of market because of spoofing, how he sizes stops when the tape is moving this fast, whether macro even matters to a scalper, and the bias that cost him his worst day of the year — yesterday.

    The Oil Shock Has Moved to Diesel. Inflation Is Next | Tim Duggan

    Everyone is still watching crude oil, but fund manager Tim Duggan argues the real pressure point in energy has moved downstream — to refiners, diesel, and the tankers moving the barrels. With VLCC rates as high as $1.3 million a day and refining capacity squeezed, Tim believes the inflation shock is about to reach Main Street prices over the next one to two months.In this FXEmpire Podcast interview, Tim — fund manager at Duggan Capital, author of The Oil Report, and FXEmpire contributor — explains what retail traders should be watching beyond Brent and WTI.We discuss:- Why the oil market's choke point has shifted from the Strait of Hormuz to refinery capacity- What the crack spread measures — and why it's a sharper energy-risk gauge than crude alone- Vitol's 14 million barrel-per-day Hormuz threshold for stable prices, and where satellite-tracked flows fell- How $1.3M-a-day tanker rates add a roughly $22 premium to the price of oil- Why markets haven't priced an inflationary shock yet — and when Tim expects consumers to feel it- Whether Brent and WTI could fall while diesel and freight costs stay high- IRGC warnings and Houthi activity widening the risk zone toward the Indian Ocean- What a US diesel export ban would mean for Europe — and why California is most exposed- How traders handle the hurricane premium on Gulf of Mexico oil production- The "fog of Trump" and why markets are tiring of headline whipsaws- The one energy chart Tim says every retail trader should watch- Why he's long the agriculture trade

    Fed Rate Hikes Aren’t Over: Oil, Inflation & the 2026 Market Outlook | Dennis Shen

    Oil, inflation, interest rates and geopolitics are colliding—and economist Dennis Shen believes energy prices may be the most important signal for markets right now.In this episode of the FXEmpire Podcast, Dennis breaks down the Federal Reserve’s latest rate hike, why another increase may still be ahead, and how elevated crude oil and natural gas prices are feeding directly into the inflation outlook.We also examine what higher-for-longer interest rates mean for the U.S. dollar, gold, European markets and the broader 2026 market outlook.Dennis explains why the current strength in the U.S. dollar appears to be driven more by interest-rate differentials than traditional safe-haven flows, why gold remains highly sensitive to expectations for the Fed, and how quickly falling energy prices could begin changing the inflation picture.We discuss:• Why oil and natural gas are critical indicators for the Fed • Whether another Federal Reserve rate hike is coming • How geopolitical risk is affecting inflation • Why the U.S. economy remains resilient despite higher rates • What falling oil prices could mean for CPI • The ECB’s next potential move • Why the dollar is strengthening • Higher interest rates vs. gold prices • Whether the so-called “Trump put” still matters for equities • Risks building as the economic cycle matures • AI’s growing impact on productivity, jobs and economic growth • The biggest risks markets may be underestimating heading into 2027
