In this episode of WealthWise with Jeffrey Hirsch, we welcome Ed Fortunato, the Chief Economist at Constellation, the largest producer of emissions-free electricity in the United States. Ed shares insights from his extensive career in commodities, trading, and economics, and breaks down the critical energy and market trends shaping our future. He explains how Constellation is leading the clean energy charge, including its role in powering both retail and wholesale markets and its massive investments in nuclear power, such as the restart of Three Mile Island and the growing adoption of small modular reactors.

Ed also dives into the complexities of energy demand driven by AI and data center growth, the long timelines for building new nuclear facilities, and innovations in energy transmission. He discusses the strategic shift in his trading approach from active execution to technical and fundamental analysis, while offering a cautious outlook on NASDAQ and the S&P 500. The conversation covers market trends in precious metals and Bitcoin, the impact of inflation, the Fed’s monetary policy, trade tariffs, and the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that are influencing global oil markets.
