Tech & InnovationMax Kettner Would Be Long Anything If Oil Falls to $80
If bond yields are riding oil, macro risk for tech and growth operators is now tied to the energy tape as much as Fed rhetoric. Treat an $80 oil scenario as a planning fork: one branch with cheaper capital and risk-on multiples, one with sustained yield pressure and tighter funding.
