Carnival Corporation (CCL) has experienced a surge in stock price following a strong Q2 earnings report, indicating increased travel demand. Analyst James Hardiman discussed how geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, may affect consumer behavior, but noted that Carnival's results reflect solid consumer confidence.
