As we think everyone by now realizes, the Strait Hormuz is a critical bottleneck to not only crude oil exports from the region but also LNG from Qatar. We have no idea how long the current war will last. The longer it goes, the greater the risk of a painful energy crisis materializing. We do not think that fact is lost on anyone that is participating in or observing the conflict.In this kind of very acute situation, an energy crisis would be bad for everyone be it citizens, governments, and even traditional energy companies over the long run as whatever benefit accrues from short term price appreciation would likely be lost from future economic weakness. No reasonable person in and around the energy sector is rooting for war. Even if shipping were to resume in coming days or weeks out of the Straight, we suspect the realization of what has long been considered a “worse case” geopolitical risk for oil markets—and now LNG—will motivate countries to pursue changes that mitigate this risk of future disruptions.This week we have two key messages: (1) we revisit our “Super-Spike” oil demand destruction framework we first rolled out in March 2005 at Goldman Sachs. It was a career call for us. The basic points of our analysis we think stand the test of time. (2) we discuss various diversification opportunities that we think countries will or should take to reduce the risk of future disruptions long after this current crisis has hopefully abated.Subscribe to Super-Spiked to receive all content via email.

(2) Where in value chain to invest? (3) Who do you trust to allocate capital?SLIDE 3: Revisiting Our Oil “Super-Spike” FrameworkKey points:* We used the US since it has sizeable demand and freely floating retail gasoline prices.* Wider economy structurally outperforms gasoline.* But that means a much higher nominal price is required to destroy demand versus a prior cycle.* Gasoline demand is highly inelastic.* Both absolute price and rate of change are relevant.How to read the table/graph:* The graph shows historic gasoline spending (demand x retail price) relative to personal consumer expenditures.* Retail gasoline price equals the crude oil price + refining margin (to turn crude oil into gasoline) + gasoline taxes + “all other” (retail margin + other costs).* The table holds retail margin plus all other as constant and shows sensitivities to varying levels of gasoline spending as a % of PCE and refining margins.Exhibit 1: “Super-Spike” oil demand destruction frameworkSource: Bloomberg, EIA, Veriten.SLIDE 4: US Natural Gas: Lots of Growth, Where to Invest?US natural gas markets have doubled over past 20 years and are on-track to grow substantially over next decade.

Ellen Coyne and Pat Leahy join Jack Horgan-Jones to look back on the week in politics:· This week saw EU-US relations shift as the near-confrontation over Greenland perhaps showed the best way to handle US President Donald Trump's demand to take over the Arctic island. The decision by Trump to withdraw the threat of tariffs against eight European countries opposing his plan for Greenland represents a rare climbdown.· Bord Bia chairman Larrry Murrin faced calls from Sinn Féin and the Irish Farmers' Association for his resignation this week amid a controversy over his company Dawn Farms importing Brazilian beef.· The proposed reforms to the national rent control system due to come into effect on March 1st might be a hard sell for Government due to rent increases and evictions that may arise from the changes.· And former Fianna Fáil senator and MEP Brian Crowley has passed away at the age of 61. A native of Bandon, Co. Cork, topped the poll in every European election he contested – in 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009 and in 2014 – and was a well-liked figure both inside and outside Fianna Fáil.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Emer McLysaght on the joy and hidden challenges of living alone, the disappearance of former New York Giant Sam Beale, and the upcoming Six Nations Championship.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

This week, US President Donald Trump confirmed his plans to annex Greenland, threatening European members of NATO with higher tariffs if they try to stand in his way. Despite European leaders expressing messages of defiance and retaliation to these threats from the US, does Europe's reliance on the US for its LNG - and the tariffs negotiated as part of the 2025 EU-US deal - leave the continent in a weak position to oppose Trump? In this episode, Richard speaks to geopolitical and gas experts about how the markets have responded to this week's events, and the impact that global geopolitical tensions are having on LNG and oil trade. Host: Richard Sverrisson - Editor-in-Chief, Montel NewsGuests: Anne-Sophie Corbeau - Global Research Scholar, Center on Global Energy PolicyClaudio Galimberti - Chief Economist, Rystad EnergyContributor: Laurence Walker - Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Montel NewsEditor: Oscar BirkProducer: Sarah Knowles

As the annual World Economic Forum enters its third day, host Ciarán Hancock is joined from Davos in the Swiss Alps by Irish Times Economics Correspondent Eoin Burke-Kennedy.US President Donald Trump's push to take over Greenland, and the strain it is putting on EU-US relations, has dominated this year's event so far. Trump is due to arrive in Davos on Wednesday afternoon.On Tuesday, French president Emmanuel Macron openly accused the US of trying to “subordinate” Europe and referred to the consequences that could arise from this “new colonial approach”.Also on Tuesday, Canadian prime minister Mark Carney was damning in his assessment of Donald Trump's impact on global politics and a “fading” rules-based order. He also warned countries against a policy of appeasement when it comes to major powers like the US.Speaking in Davos, Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke echoed the concerns of many there, he told those in attendance that US strategy on Greenland, and the threat of tariffs to countries opposing the move, was effectively “tearing apart” the EU-US trade deal.Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound.

This episode features Cliff Kupchan, Chairman of Eurasia Group, discussing the firm's 2026 Top Risks report and the dramatically changed role of the United States in the international system. Brandon & Nick explore how US domestic political convulsions create ripple effects globally, positioning America, not Russia, as the primary source of geopolitical risk. Kupchan analyzes Trump 2.0's muscular unilateralism, the "Donroe Doctrine" asserting control over the Western Hemisphere, state capitalism with American characteristics, and rising political violence domestically, including ICE raid activity in Minnesota. The discussion examines affordability crises, tariff dynamics with China, Greenland acquisition speculation, European security concerns, and Venezuela's uncertain future following US military intervention. We also touch on optimistic counterpoints around AI, India's growth, and Democratic electoral prospects.Intertwined throughout are Brandon & Nick's observations on Minneapolis turmoil, wine pairings (Humano Tequila Reposado and Caparsa Chianti Classico 2021), and lighter moments including a "truth and lie" trivia segment about Maine's proximity to Africa, Venus cloud composition, and Mount Everest measurements.Key Takeaways• The US is now the primary source of global political risk, displacing Russia, a historic shift reflecting the US dismantling the international system it created post-1945• Greenland acquisition could destroy transatlantic trust, the foundation of NATO and EU-US economic relationships, with cascading consequences for global financial markets• Midterm elections (2026) offer potential circuit-breaker: Democrats likely to take House back (~80% probability), enabling oversight and restraining Trump's most aggressive impulses• AI and India represent genuine upside: Massive efficiency gains in insurance (200 basis point expense ratio reduction), AI revenue, and 7% Indian growth offer offsetting optimismEpisode Chapters01:11 — Humano Tequila Reposado & Caparsa Chianti Classico 2021 Tasting Notes04:17 — Howden M&A Strategy, Broker Litigation, and Alliance Capital Restraining Order06:13 — Insurance Industry Expense Ratios & AI Impact ($9.3B Operating Income Uplift Forecast)13:04 — Minneapolis ICE Raids, Political Violence, and State Security Concerns23:26 — Venezuela Regime Change & Oil Uninvestability Discussion30:19 — Cliff Kupchan Introduction & Eurasia Group Top Risks 202634:34 — Globalization Backlash & Right-Wing Populism Drivers40:42 — State Capitalism, Credit Card Caps, and Trump's Contradictory Vision43:56 — Tariff Negotiations with China & "Peak Tariff" Assessment46:24 — Greenland Acquisition as Transatlantic Relationship Risk51:50 — Democratic Midterm Prospects & Checks-and-Balances Outlook53:37 — Positive Counterpoints: AI, India, and Saudi Arabia Reform56:34 — Guest Departs; Return to Host Discussion57:00 — Lake Minnetonka Geography Fact-Check (Swimming Distance Verification)58:23 — "Truth & Lie" Trivia: Maine-Africa Distance, Venus Clouds, Mount Everest01:03:52 — Show Wrap-Up & YouTube Channel AnnouncementFact Checks: Corrected Facts OnlyClaim: Mount Everest is the tallest mountain when measured base to peak • Status: INCOMPLETE/MISLEADING • Correction: Mount Everest is highest by sea level elevation (29,032 ft), but Denali (Mount McKinley) has greater vertical rise from base to peak (~18,000+ ft vs. Everest's ~12,000-15,000 ft base-to-peak)Connect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Guest: Cliff KupchanWebsite: https://www.eurasiagroup.net/people/ckupchanOrganization Website: https://www.eurasiagroup.netEmail: kupchan@eurasiagroup.netBrandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/

The EU and the US have restarted their trade negotiations in a bid to settle sticking points left unsolved in their tariff deal reached in July. The US side called on the EU to reconsider its digital rules and find "a balanced approach" if it wanted Washington to lower import duties on steel and aluminium. Plus, global talks on protecting wildlife and ensuring sustainable trade have kicked off in Uzbekistan. The EU wants to tighten restrictions on the trade of eels, something Japan is vehemently against.
