Podcasts about oil prices

Today's Headlines: The U.S. and Israel launched Operation EPIC FURY, striking more than 1,000 targets across Iran. Iran retaliated widely, aiming at U.S. bases in the Gulf but also hitting civilian sites in Dubai, including the airport, the Burj Al Arab, and the Fairmont Palm Hotel. President Donald Trump said the U.S. sank nine Iranian warships, warned Americans to expect casualties and by Sunday, three U.S. service members were dead. In a major escalation, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were reported killed, along with dozens of senior officials. Iran then closed the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil supply. Oil prices are projected to jump roughly 9% as markets reopen. Members of Congress from both parties are now pushing for a War Powers Act vote, noting they were not consulted before the strikes began. At the Pentagon, AI drama escalated. After asking how its model was used in a prior operation, Anthropic lost a $200 million federal contract and was labeled a “supply chain risk” by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Within a day, the Pentagon reached a deal with OpenAI, which says it maintains similar guardrails. Separately, reporting from The Washington Post and ProPublica details a draft executive order circulated by Trump allies that claims China interfered in 2020 and could declare a national emergency affecting election administration ahead of the midterms. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn reportedly convened allies to discuss the plan. Speaker Mike Johnson warned losing the midterms would effectively end Trump's presidency. And in Austin, Texas, two people were killed and 14 wounded in a bar shooting now being investigated by the FBI as a potential act of terrorism.

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber kicked off a new week of trading as U.S. and Israel attacks on Iran entered a third day. The widening Middle East conflict sent oil prices and defense stocks sharply higher — while travel companies and other groups saw their shares take a hit. Hear what Cramer said about navigating this market environment. Also in focus:  Private credit woes and AI fears, gold and bitcoin rise, February's stock winners and losers, what former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein told CNBC about the markets.   Squawk on the Street Disclaimer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bitcoin is hovering at a critical level as global tensions escalate, oil prices spike, and gold surges on renewed safe-haven demand. With geopolitical uncertainty driving volatility across equities, commodities, and currencies, risk assets are feeling the pressure and Bitcoin is no exception. As liquidity tightens and macro stress builds, traders are questioning whether this is just short-term turbulence or the early stages of a deeper breakdown.

The US attacked Iran - now on Day 3 of the deadly conflict, Michael turns to one of the nation's most experienced military leaders for clarity. Retired 4-star Admiral James Stavridis — former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO — breaks down why the strike happened now, what the true objective may be (regime change? nuclear deterrence? weakening Iran's proxies?), and whether Iran is stronger than we've been led to believe. They discuss the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, the role of Russia and China, how NATO allies are reacting, and whether the Iranian people could ultimately determine the outcome. Then, callers weigh in — raising constitutional concerns about congressional authorization, debating President Trump's leadership, and questioning whether America has a clear endgame. Is this the start of regime collapse — or another prolonged Middle East conflict? Original air date 2 March 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is the stock market topping — or just catching its breath? This week, equity markets face a triple threat: an Iranian strike rattling geopolitical risk assets, an Anthropic AI capability announcement that hammered IBM, CrowdStrike, financials, and SaaS stocks, and a technical picture showing the S&P 500 slipping below both its 20- and 50-day moving averages. Lance Roberts breaks down the bull and bear case in full.

Crude oil prices are looking towards $70 for the first time since July of last year. Brian Kessens addresses the current risk premium from U.S./Iran tensions even as it is not expected to close the Strait of Hormuz. “We would expect prices to move materially higher” if a deal is not reached but thinks they can soften if there is a resolution. He sees $60 as a potential bottom and $100 per barrel in a worse-case scenario. Brian comments on production levels for both oil and natural gas; the former he sees relatively flat while the latter increases.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Global oil markets are no longer just about supply and demand—they are reshaping geopolitics in real time. In this episode of the STRAT podcast, retired Marine Intelligence Officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer breaks down how oil pricing and access are being used as strategic tools with far-reaching consequences. From pressure on Russia's war economy to Iran's vulnerability around the Strait of Hormuz, the ripple effects are global. The discussion explores how sanctions, tariffs, tanker seizures, and discounted crude are squeezing Russia's revenues, pushing Cuba toward a full-blown energy crisis, and placing China in an increasingly precarious position due to its dependence on cheap oil from sanctioned states. Kempfer also explains key oil benchmarks like Brent and WTI, the importance of U.S. shale production, and why today's environment differs fundamentally from past oil shocks. The result is a sober look at how energy strategy is quietly reshaping alliances, economies, and global stability.Takeaways:Oil prices are being actively shaped by U.S.-led strategyBrent and WTI benchmarks reveal critical geopolitical signalsRussia's oil revenues are collapsing under sanctions pressureTanker seizures are disrupting sanctioned oil supply chainsThe Strait of Hormuz remains a major global choke pointCuba faces an unprecedented fuel collapse and instabilityChina's reliance on discounted crude is becoming a liabilityEnergy pressure may accelerate regime change scenarios#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #GlobalEnergy #OilMarkets #Geopolitics #EnergySecurity #RussiaUkraine #IranOil #ChinaEnergy #CubaCrisis #SanctionsPolicy #OilPrices #StrategicCompetition #NationalSecurity #EconomicWarfare #EnergyGeopolitics #GlobalStability #RiskAssessment

You can't buy this kind of entertainment. When President Trump throws out a mean Truth Social post, he can move the markets, but when an Aircraft Carrier Strike group shows up near Iran and Iraq, the oil traders panic. It is quite possible that the Glut Narative may just roll off into the sunset, as Stu Turley has said on the podcast "Where's the Glut?" much like the "Where's the Beef" Wendy's commercial. We are seeing a commodities Supercycle surge, and did oil just make it to the Commodities Homecoming Dance? We cover critical investing and issues that will impact consumers in the oil and gas markets. The main topics discussed in this Energy News Beat Stand-UP are:1. Geopolitical tensions and their impact on oil prices:  - President Trump's threats of military action against Iran and the resulting spike in Brent crude oil prices  - Concerns about potential supply disruptions from Iran and Iraq, which could further impact oil markets2. Declining oil and gas exploration and investment:  - The plunge in global conventional oil and gas discovery volumes in recent years  - The decline in overall oil and gas capital expenditures, focused on short-cycle, low-cost projects  - The high percentage of production coming from post-peak oil and gas fields raising concerns about future supply3. The changing dynamics in the oil and gas industry:  - The dichotomy between "drill, baby, drill" and "grow, baby, grow" approaches to production  - The role of refinery demand in determining the pricing and trading of different crude oil grades  - Saudi Aramco's efforts to change how OPEC monitors and prices oil, moving towards a more refinery-driven model4. Potential mergers and acquisitions in the sector:  - The ongoing discussions around a potential merger between Coterra Energy and Devon Energy  - The involvement of activist investor Kimmeridge in pushing for this merger, including the potential nomination of Scott Sheffield to Coterra's board5. Performance and outlook for oil and gas companies:  - The strong stock price performance of major oil companies like ExxonMobil and Chevron  - The potential opportunities in the mining and gold/silver sectors as a hedge against oil and gas market volatilityStories Covered in today's Energy News Beat Stand-Up1.Brent Breaks $70 After Trump Threatens Iran With Military Force2.Oil Options on Longest Bullish Run Since 2024 as Iran Risk Looms3.Oil Exploration Drastically Lagging Demand – We are approaching a critical junction of lack of investment4.Trinidad & Tobago: The $4 Billion Nat Gas Play5.Gas Turbines Suffer Economic Hardships Due to Stress Placed on Them by Wind and Solar6.Saudi Aramco Raises $4 Billion as Oil Prices Remain Under the Oil Glut ThreatA shout-out to Reese Energy Consulting for sponsoring the Podcast: https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Check out: theenergynewsbeat.substack.com,Get your CEO on the podcast: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/media/Is oil and gas right for your portfolio? https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/invest-in-oil-and-gas/

1. Oil Prices & National Security Lower global oil prices weaken hostile regimes like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela by reducing their revenue. The Trump administration aims for a “sweet spot” oil price ($60–$70/barrel): Low enough to hurt adversaries. High enough to avoid bankrupting U.S. independent oil producers. If prices drop into the $40s, it could collapse small oil producers in Texas and the Permian Basin. 2. Venezuela’s Oil Infrastructure Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but decades of mismanagement have destroyed its infrastructure. Estimates from oil executives: Increasing production from 1 million to 3 million barrels/day could take 10 years and require $100B+ in investment. Even going from 1 million to 2 million/day would take 5–7 years. Gulf Coast refineries can process Venezuela’s heavy sour crude, but expanded imports would mostly affect Canada and Mexico, not U.S. light-sweet crude producers. 3. Cuba’s Economic Crisis Cuba historically survived on financial support from: The Soviet Union (until its collapse). Venezuela under Chávez/Maduro (oil and money). With Venezuela no longer able to support Cuba, the island is in economic freefall. Mexico is currently providing oil that helps sustain the Cuban regime. The Trump administration may pressure Mexico to cut this supply, potentially pushing Cuba toward political collapse. 4. Jack Smith & January 6th Investigation Smith is accused of leading a politically motivated prosecution against Donald Trump. He allegedly relied on questionable or disproven testimony, notably from Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson’s dramatic claims (e.g., Trump lunging for a steering wheel) were not confirmed by eyewitnesses. Jim Jordan challenged Smith in hearings, accusing him of: Using unreliable witnesses. Conducting a partisan, anti-Trump investigation. Targeting large numbers of Republicans with subpoenas. 5. Crime Statistics & Trump Administration Policies Nationwide murder rates reportedly declined ~20% from 2024 to 2025. Approx. 1,400 fewer murders. Major cities showing decreases: Chicago: 30% NYC: 20% Baltimore: 31% Oakland: 33% Washington, D.C.: 31% (after National Guard deployment) Other violent crimes also declined: Motor vehicle theft: ↓25% Robbery: ↓18% Aggravated assault: ↓8% Law enforcement stats cited: Violent crime arrests: ↑100% Gangs disrupted: ↑210% Fentanyl seized: ↑31% Missing/abducted children located: ↑22% Human traffickers arrested: ↑15% Significant increase in arrests of espionage suspects and fugitives.

Why Oil Prices May Stay Low In 2026 and what it means for India is a question shaping business decisions, policy debates, and household economics across the country.In this India Energy Week 2026 special episode of The Core Report, Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Atanu Mukherjee, CEO Dastur Energy to break down the global energy outlook for 2026, why oil supply is likely to stay ahead of demand, and how a lower crude oil price regime could impact India. From Brent crude price expectations in the 50 to 60 dollar range to changing oil flows, this conversation explains why oil prices may remain soft and what that really means for inflation, growth, and energy security.The discussion explores how oversupply in global oil markets, OPEC's evolving role, and limited volatility are reshaping energy markets in 2026. It also looks closely at India's oil imports, including Russian oil and Venezuela as a longer-term option, and why India's refining capacity and petrochemicals strategy are becoming more important as fuel demand patterns change.Beyond oil, this episode examines LNG prices, global gas supply expansion, and why natural gas remains critical for India despite price sensitivity and import dependence. You will also hear why renewables alone may not be enough, how gas and coal-based solutions could support reliable power, and why energy affordability is becoming as important as clean energy goals.A key theme in this conversation is the rising energy demand from AI, data centres, and hyperscalers. As artificial intelligence expands, India's power infrastructure, grid integration, and energy mix will play a decisive role in determining how fast the digital economy can grow. The episode connects global energy trends with India's economic and technological future in a clear, grounded way.If you are tracking oil prices in 2026, India's energy strategy, LNG markets, geopolitics, or the intersection of energy and AI, this conversation offers valuable context and long-term perspective for professionals in finance, consulting, manufacturing, and policy.Understanding why oil prices may stay low in 2026 is not just about forecasting markets. It is about understanding how energy shapes India's competitiveness, resilience, and growth in a rapidly changing world.

The stock market of 2025 often felt like different movies playing on adjacent screens. On one, the broader market surged. On the other, economically sensitive sectors such as oil and gas stocks slid into the background. Today, we examine the performance of the 35 public E&Ps we cover.

In this episode, Karl Eggerss breaks down the key economic and market developments shaping early 2026. He covers the sharp moves in the Venezuelan stock market, the renewed strength in energy stocks, and how recent federal policies under President Trump may influence housing affordability. Karl also examines the latest sector rotation in the stock market and explores whether the shift has staying power. To wrap up the episode, he shares a personal story about meeting Warren Buffett as the legendary investor retired at the end of the year.

RUSSIA'S OIL CRISIS AND REGIONAL DEFICITS Colleague Michael Bernstam, Hoover Institution. Russiafaces a financial crisis as oil prices drop below $60 per barrel. Michael Bernstam explains that increased global supply forces Russia to sell at deep discounts to China and India, often below cost. This revenue loss prevents the Kremlinfrom paying soldiers, sparking severe regional budget deficits. NUMBER 141906 BAKU

This special episode analyzes the United States' intervention in Venezuela on January 3, 2026, and explores its broader implications for Canada and the Canadian oil sector. Peter and Jackie open with a discussion of the geopolitical backdrop and the range of narratives circulating about the U.S. motivations for seizing and arresting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, including efforts to curb drug trafficking and illegal migration, and to counter the growing influence of China, Russia, and terrorist groups in the country. They also reference the U.S. National Security Strategy released in November 2025, which calls for a Western Hemisphere free from hostile foreign control and signals renewed enforcement of a “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine is a foundational principle of U.S. foreign policy, first announced in 1823, that set out the United States' view of the Western Hemisphere.  General principles at the time held that European powers should no longer interfere in the Americas and that the Western Hemisphere was now the U.S. sphere of influence. Peter and Jackie then turn to the oil market implications for Canadian oil. If sanctions on Venezuela were eased, increased Venezuelan heavy oil exports to the U.S. could intensify competition for Canadian oil on the U.S. Gulf Coast, which accounts for about 10% of Canada's crude oil exports. The exports to Canada's largest market, the U.S. Midwest, which makes up 70% of all exports, are more insulated. The discussion concludes with an assessment of potential Venezuelan production scenarios, including the possibility of declining output, a pattern that has frequently followed similar government changes in the past. They conclude that, in any scenario, a clear takeaway for Canada is that building additional West Coast pipelines is critical. Diversifying export markets, strengthening economic resilience, and improving national sovereignty and autonomy are imperatives for Canada.Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

PREVIEW Guest: Michael Bernstam Summary: Michael Bernstam analyzes declining oil prices, noting a global glut that has pushed prices under $60 per barrel. He explains that because Russia loses roughly $2.7 billion for every $10 price drop and sells at a deep discount, current revenues are insufficient to sustain its budget or war effort. 1914
