That's all depends on geopolitical factors, especially around Russian oil tariffs and a shift in escalation on the Ukraine War, says Patrick. He later explains that crude oil's price tag hovering around the $60 mark will add downward pressure on prices at the gas pump. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Our card this week is Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez, the Wild Card from Texas.Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez walked out of the duplex she shared with her family in Odessa, Texas, on Aug. 2, 1985, and seemingly vanished without a trace. Her sister-in-law watched Mary head in the direction of a local bar after fighting with her husband, who they knew as Arnuldo Mendez. Mary had asked her sister-in-law to watch her 5-year-old daughter, Virginia, while she went out, but she never came home. For nearly 40 years, her family wondered whether she'd walked away from her life and children…or if something bad had happened to her. It wasn't until a young cold case detective stumbled across her long-lost case file and started digging that clues in a decades-old mystery started to be unearthed. If you know anything about the death of Mary Mendez, contact Det. Gonzales at 432-335-4926, or to submit a tip anonymously through Odessa Crime Stoppers, call 432-333-8477 or visit 333tips.org and reference case number 84-7988.View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/maria-mary-faye-mendez Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers.
