There’s no telling what this weekend’s OPEC+ meeting will do to oil prices. Sadly, that’s not stopping many investors from making uninformed and uneducated guesses.

In this clip from The Macro Show, McCullough walks through the three-step process he uses to interpret data and fade narratives in investment decisions. 

“If you’re telling me global oil trades based on one thing, like an OPEC+ meeting or a cease-fire in the Middle East, you’ve lost your marbles,” McCullough says.
