Conversations on Groong - December 14, 2025In this episode of Conversations on Groong, we examine how Venezuela's vast oil reserves have become entangled in global conflict. The discussion links US pressure on Caracas to efforts to drive down oil prices, weaken Russia's war effort in Ukraine, and limit Iran's regional power amid rising fears of a wider war. We also explore how a revived Venezuelan oil sector could disrupt OPEC+, reshape Middle East politics, and alter the balance of power across today's conflict zones.Topics:Venezuela's oil and US pressureTrump, oil prices, and OPEC+Middle East fallout from cheap oilUkraine war and Iran conflict stakesGuest: Harry IstepanianHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 495 | Recorded: December 11, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/495VIDEO: https://youtu.be/g0bH2EFA3GU#Venezuela #OilPolitics #Geopolitics #USForeignPolicy #EnergyWarsSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

Amanda asks Trisha about her recent opinion piece, “Winning Against China Means Winning on Energy.” Trisha explains that China is a modern coal power, but the U.S. has more natural gas, oil, and coal than any nation on earth. She talks about U.S. oil production, natural gas production, productivity and longer laterals, and “Drill Baby Drill.” Amanda also asks Trisha to discuss AI as well as the government shutdown. Trisha talks about China and the U.S. with regard to AI and power generation, and the Fed and the lack of economic data during the government shutdown. She gets into risks in the market and mentions groupthink and cognitive dissonance in the oil and gas industry, risks that the U.S. will produce more than the industry thinks, lack of appreciation of risk with regard to China, and fears surrounding AI.

Die Bundesregierung plant eine Reform der Schuldenbremse – mit einem Investitionspaket von über 800 Milliarden Euro bis 2029. Was bedeutet das für Wachstum, Inflation und fiskalische Stabilität in Deutschland? Und wie nachhaltig ist die Konjunkturerholung tatsächlich? In der Eurozone rückt der jüngste NATO-Gipfel in den Fokus. Höhere Verteidigungsausgaben könnten künftig zu mehr Investitionen führen – doch auch Spannungen mit China und den USA belasten das wirtschaftliche Umfeld. Welche Rolle spielt Europas Binnenmarkt für Wachstum und Innovation? Die US-Wirtschaft zeigt sich bislang robust – doch die angekündigten Strafzölle werfen Fragen auf. Wie stabil bleibt die Konjunktur in der zweiten Jahreshälfte? Und welchen Einfluss hat der politische Kurs Donald Trumps auf Inflation, Zinspolitik und Arbeitsmarkt? Zum Schluss ein Blick auf die Rohstoffmärkte: Gold und Platin profitieren von geopolitischer Unsicherheit, während die Ölpreise durch Förderentscheidungen der OPEC Plus und mögliche Zölle beeinflusst werden. Was bedeutet das für die Portfolioallokation? Zu hören in der neuen Folge von results. MärkteAktuell – mit Sebastian Neckel und Dr. Ulrich Stephan. (Aufnahmedatum: 21. Juli 2025 um 14:00 Uhr)

Autofahren ist gerade echt bezahlbar, weil Diesel und Benzin nicht so teuer sind. Host Niels Walker holt auf dem Weg Kollegin Astrid Kühn aus der NDR Info-Wirtschaftsredaktion ab, und die beiden besprechen auf einer Spritztour zur Arbeit, woran es liegt, dass das Öl so günstig ist und vor allem warum die Preise an Feiertagen nicht mehr so stark steigen, wie früher.

The ⁠Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has revealed plans to cut its workforce by approximately 7%⁠, eliminating 89 full-time and part-time positions primarily at its headquarters, while simultaneously requesting a slight increase in funding, bringing its total budget to over $1 billion for the next fiscal year.  The ⁠DOE benchmark diesel price has fallen to a milestone low⁠, reaching its lowest point since September 2021, with the average weekly retail price now at $3.45 a gallon, marking a decline over seven of the past eight weeks. Despite this trend, futures prices moved up even after news that OPEC Plus would increase output, indicating a continued unwinding of their 2023 production cuts.  Furthermore, the ⁠labor dispute involving Canada Post continues to intensify⁠ after the state-owned corporation rejected a proposal for binding arbitration from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). This rejection prolongs uncertainty following the union's refusal to work overtime since May 23rd, which has already caused delivery slowdowns and a significant drop in Canada Post's parcel volumes, pushing e-commerce retailers to alternative carriers.  Looking ahead, FreightWaves is hosting several key events, including the ⁠Enterprise Fleet Summit on July 23rd⁠.

Die USA und China haben in Genf einen ersten Kompromiss im Zollkonflikt erzielt – doch von einer umfassenden Einigung ist man noch entfernt. Für 90 Tage gilt ein Zwischenstatus mit reduzierten Zollsätzen. Was das für Europa bedeutet, das sich nun ebenfalls auf Verhandlungen einstellen muss, ist noch offen. Auch die US-Notenbank hat zuletzt nicht an der Zinsschraube gedreht. Wie sehr haben sich die Erwartungen an künftige Zinsschritte bereits verschoben? Und warum tendierte der Dollar zuletzt deutlich fester? Deutschland überrascht mit starken Zahlen zur Industrieproduktion und zum Export. Doch sind das wirklich nachhaltige Signale oder nur Vorzieheffekte im Vorfeld der angekündigten Zölle? Und wie sehr belasten neue Grenzkontrollen mit Polen die Wirtschaft? Zudem im Fokus: die Lage am Ölmarkt nach Produktionsausweitungen der OPEC Plus. Was bedeutet das für die Inflation – und für das globale Wachstum in der zweiten Jahreshälfte?

Back in the 1970's there was a very popular graphic of a Lincoln US one cent coin. The original coin on the back has the words engraved “In God we Trust”. The coin had been altered to say, in Oil we trust. At the time, that meme rang true as people were lining up at gas stations around the block and oil prices spiked. The economic turmoil of those days was the result of the OPEC oil embargo. Global trade was disrupted and a new word was coined. The economists rule book was broken and we had simultaneous price inflation and economic contraction. The term stagflation was born and remains as a textbook condition which can happen whenever there is an artificial constraint on economic activity.  On Thursday, one day after President Trump's liberation day, OPEC Plus came out with their production targets for the next few months. The timing is coincidental. No doubt it appears that President Trump is going to get his wish for lower oil prices. Oil prices have dropped by 10% in 2 days.So now with the spectre of reciprocal tariffs, economic slowdown, and falling prices at the gasoline pump, some people are cheering that it will cost less to fill the tank in your car. But if you are a shale oil producer, you probably have a flashback to 2014 when OPEC killed the US Shale industry by dropping the world price of oil to below the economic break-even for shale oil production. I believe that the spike in oil production at a time of declining demand is a deliberate move to crash prices and crater the US oil industry. This was not just an action aimed at Iraq. This is one of those times when it is difficult to make sense out of what is happening in global markets. Quite frankly, some of it makes no sense.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

Recorded on December 5, 2024 and November 11, 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MBxiCkwpxQ Episode 121 of the PetroNerds podcast is another PetroNerds special, recorded on November 11th, 2024, with Chris Wright at Liberty Energy's office in Denver, Colorado. This is right after the election victory of Donald Trump's second term and days before Chris Wright is officially named Trump's pick for US Energy Secretary. Jason Isaac, the President of the American Energy Institute, hosts and moderates a panel discussion with Chris Wright and Trisha Curtis, the CEO of PetroNerds and Economist for the American Energy Institute. Trisha Curtis opens this podcast with a jam-packed intro covering oil price moves, the OPEC Plus cut extension, France's political chaos, and what Trump means for US energy and global energy. She tries to clarify the opportunity and leverage and levers this new Administration has on energy, from sanctions on Iran to refilling the SPR to lifting the "pause" on permits for new LNG exports. In the panel discussion, Chris Wright talks about energy sobriety and the importance of energy knowledge, energy policy, and energy security. When speaking about President-elect Trump and energy, Chris said, "He intuitively gets it… Energy is not a sector of the economy; it is the sector of the economy that enables everything else we do. If we get energy wrong, nothing else matters." He talks about bad energy policies that do not help the environment and hurt people's lives. Trisha Curtis talks about the difference between Biden and Trump, the complete change that will be seen in energy and broader policies, high energy prices and lots of regulations under Biden, and the night-and-day policy switch with Trump and the current market euphoria. She gets into the delta between what you are charged for natural gas by utility companies and the actual price of natural gas, a gap of about $20, and she talks about adding more natural gas into the electricity pool, stemming the decommissioning of coal, lowering US electric bills, building out more natural gas infrastructure in the US, and exporting more natural gas. Chris Wright gets into Trisha's favorite subjects, China, manufacturing, and coal! Chris talks about building infrastructure in the US for manufacturing and industry and consuming more domestic energy for manufacturing. "We could produce 20 percent more in natural gas." Trisha talks about China and tariff exposure to China and what Trump intends to do. Trisha and Chris talk about Germany and China and the bad policies in Germany, energy and otherwise. Jason Isaac brings up the high standards of US air quality. Chris talks about growing up in Denver and the improvement in air quality. Jason asks Trisha to talk about economics and tariffs, and Trisha gets into China and tariffs and explains the need for hawkishness on China and the need for tariffs with a foreign adversary. She gets into Iran and their crude exports to China as well as the cheap China goods coming into the US and the need to make these goods in the US. Trisha comments on "decoupling" with China and the need to be more hawkish and more educated on China. Chris says, "Everything you hold dear relies on energy," and he says we are definitely going to see a shift toward affordable and secure energy and the need to address the grid and affordable power. "Trajectory and dialogue" first, then the reality will come later. In the question and answer session, an attendee asks about EPA rules and the ability for the EPA to unwind or roll some of those rules back. Chris Wright explains that this will take some time and this will be tricky, but rolling back some regulations and bold actions for energy sobriety will probably be implemented. Trisha Curtis added to that answer by talking about Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Accords and the dramatic shifts in what the EPA will be doing and pushing.

Trisha gets into power generation and natural gas explaining that half of US power generation is coming from natural gas. She talks about power generation and manufacturing, EVs and Hertz and the slowdown in sales and adoption of EVs, inflation and electricity prices and the $1.74 natural gas prices NOT being passed along to consumers, and Russian attacks on Ukraine and Ukraine's energy infrastructure and power generation. She discusses the Fed, interest rates, no interest rate cuts, inflation, housing prices and mortgage rates, new home sales being down and housing prices being up, the demand for electricity and power generation by chip companies and bets on AI, the geopolitical angst within the market, and Russia, Iran, and China ties. She closes the podcast by talking about the need for market intelligence and leadership in oil and gas, not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it is also the right thing to do for your shareholders. Trisha talks about politics and policies and raising energy IQ. She talks about the differences between Biden and Trump on oil and gas prices and infrastructure, regulations, and business.

The threat of a wider Middle East war is increasing. Over the past weekend, Iran attacked Israel with missiles and drones in retaliation for Israel's suspected strike on Iran's embassy in Syria. This week, our guest, Raoul LeBlanc, Vice President, Energy, S&P Global Commodity Insights, explains why oil prices have increased over the past few months, including the impact of the growing conflict in the Middle East, OPEC+, and US shale oil growth. Jackie and Peter also asked Raoul about recent research by Prof. Robert Howarth from Cornell University. The paper, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, concludes that US LNG could be comparable to, or even worse than, coal from a GHG emissions perspective when methane leaking is considered. A BNN article reported that Howarth's paper influenced President Biden's pause on LNG approvals.  Finally, Raoul explains the drivers for US oil and gas producers' recent mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and if this trend could come to Canada. Content referenced in this podcast:  How One Scientist Influenced Biden's Pause on LNG Approvals (BNN Bloomberg, Feb 29, 2024) The Greenhouse Gas Footprint of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Exported from the United States by Robert W.

This week our guest is Eric Nuttall, Partner, and Senior Portfolio Manager at Ninepoint Partners LP.  Eric manages the Ninepoint Energy Fund (NNRG) and the Ninepoint Energy Income Fund (NRGI), which are traded on the NEO Exchange. The Ninepoint Energy Funds are some of the largest actively managed energy funds in the world. Eric's views on oil and gas commodities and equities are sought after by the media and investors.   Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Eric:  Are you still an oil bull? Do you think oil markets could rally in the second half of 2023? What is your view on longer-term oil market fundamentals? At current oil prices, how are oil and gas equities performing?  Are institutional investors still avoiding oil and gas equities?  With oil and gas equities at relatively low valuations, should we expect foreign takeovers? Why are Canadian oil and gas companies valued less than their US peers?  Does Canadian federal policy, like the cap on oil and gas emissions, impact the valuations of Canadian producers? Content referenced in this podcast: Eric Nuttall's recent webinar “What does a possible recession mean for the oil trade?” (April 12, 2023) Trans Mountain Pipeline Interim Tolls (June 2023) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/    Check us out on social media:Twitter: @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research InstituteInstagram: @arcenergyresearchinstituteYouTube: @arcenergyresearchinstitute9600Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsGoogle podcastsAmazon musicSpotify

DoubleLine's Jeffrey Mayberry and Eric Dhall welcome the arrival of graduation time and the start of MMM's summer stretch before recapping the Memorial Day holiday-shortened market week of May 30-June 2 as well as looking at May performance. All sectors of the S&P 500 closed up for the week, and the index closed up in May (2:23). Fixed income had a pretty sizable week with the Agg down for the week and in May but still up year-to-date (4:12). Commodities were flat (5:59), and Bitcoin (6:59) was up for the week. Over in Macro Land (7:36), it was a pretty wild week with the debt-ceiling deal in D.C. the main driver of activity. Among the week's other prints, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price index delivered rosy data, but the numbers were from March (9:18); consumer confidence waned (10:26); labor market numbers were strong (11:13); and the ISM manufacturing print remained contractionary (13:08). In this week's Fedspeak segment, Jeff and Eric look for clues on the FOMC's plans for its June meeting (18:05). Next week's deliveries (19:42) will include an OPEC Plus meeting, two services prints and jobless claims.

The hosts ask Bilal about his recent piece, entitled "After Oil-for-Security: A Blueprint for Resetting U.S.-Saudi Security Relations." Before that discussion, the hosts discuss fibre-optic cables and data centers in Saudi Arabia, how the Kingdom is doing on its efforts to achieve sustainability, and much more.4:32 - Richard's One Big Thing is how Saudi Arabia is ‘redrawing the map of the future with fibre-optic cables', citing a recent piece in the Middle East Eye. Saudi Arabia sees an opportunity with Egypt acting often as a bottleneck. 18:02 - Lucien's One Big Thing is a discussion on how Saudi Arabia's Green Initiative (SGI) is performing against international evaluations on sustainability progress. One new report, published annually by MIT called The Green Future Index, says that Saudi Arabia made a leap forward against its performance last year by jumping 10 places. But, it wasn't all good news for Saudi Arabia - the Kingdom is in the second-to-last category for these rankings. Still, the progress is laudable and can already be seen on the ground in Saudi Arabia. So far, Saudi Arabia has planted 18 million trees within the Kingdom and of those 13 million are mangroves.32:35 - The 966 welcomes back onto the program Bilal Saab,  political-military analyst on the Middle East and U.S. policy toward the region and Senior Fellow and Director of the Defense and Security Program at the Middle East Institute.

In Surprise, OPEC Plus Announces Cut in Oil ProductionSaudi Arabia, Russia and their oil-producing allies announced that they would cut production by more than 1.2 million barrels of crude a day, or more than 1 percent of world supplies, in an apparent effort to increase prices. The production cut was unexpected because leaders of the group, known collectively as OPEC Plus, said in recent days that they did not intend to make changes in their policies. The cuts, which are voluntary and start in May, could be temporary depending on economic conditions.Fitch upgrades Saudi Arabia to 'A+' on strong balance sheet, buffersRatings agency Fitch on Wednesday upgraded Saudi Arabia's credit rating to 'A+' from 'A', citing the Gulf state's robust fiscal and external balance sheets, including a favourable debt-to-GDP ratio and strong sovereign net foreign assets. Oil revenue will account for about 60% of total budget revenue in 2023-2024, according to Fitch, despite a major government push towards developing the non-oil sectors of the economy. "The upgrade also assumes ongoing commitment to gradual progress with fiscal, economic and governance reforms," Fitch said.Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund reveals its VC portfolioThe venture arm of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, Sanabil Investments, has revealed dozens of US and European venture capital and private equity firms in its portfolio, shedding new light on the kingdom's expanding global economic footprint. The fund's portfolio contains 18 startups along with big-name VC and growth funds like California-based Andreessen Horowitz, 500 Global and New York-based, General Atlantic. Top Saudi, Iranian diplomats to meet in China, say media, officialsThe top envoys for Saudi Arabia and Iran will meet in Beijing on Thursday, an Iranian official and a Saudi-owned newspaper said, as the two regional rivals work to hash out next steps of their diplomatic rapprochement amid a China-brokered deal. The meeting between Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian, will be the first formal meeting between Saudi Arabia and Iran's most senior diplomats in more than seven years.CIA director visits Saudi Arabia to reinforce US commitment to intel cooperationThe head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Bill Burns was in Saudi Arabia this week to meet with officials and reinforce Washington's commitment to intelligence cooperation, a US official told Al Arabiya English on Wednesday. The CIA director's quiet trip comes on the heels of a surprising agreement signed between Riyadh and Tehran, brokered by China, to restore diplomatic ties, reopen embassies and exchange ambassadors in the next month.The UN is going forward with an operation to prevent a disastrous oil spill from a rusting tanker in the Red Sea.The United Nations Development Programme has purchased a ship to take 1.1 million barrels of crude oil that has been sitting in a decrepit supertanker, SFO Safer, off the port of Ras Isa in Yemen's west coast. It has contracted SMIT Salvage BV, a Dutch firm specializing in marine salvage, to extract the oil and remove the Safer to safety. The replacement vessel is currently in drydock in China, being fitted for its new purpose as a floating oil storage vessel. It is expected to arrive in the Red Sea next month.

Patriotism and religion are luxuries. When you can't pay the rent or feed your family, when you're pestered by bill collectors, it's hard to think of anything other than money.

On this episode, Misha speaks with Middle East expert Nicole Robinson who expounds on how MENA countries have responded to Russia's War in Ukraine and the reasons why. Ms. Robinson sheds some light on the future of the region as the conflict evolves and Russia's capacity to arm and feed its regional allies dwindles. Furthermore, she suggests that Russia's declining influence may allow for other actors to increase their influence in the Middle East region -- actors such as China, for example, which is one of the biggest recipients of oil and natural gas from the Persian Gulf. Ms. Robinson says it's unwise for the US to take a step back in the Middle East when it is geographically and strategically the region that is situated in between giants. This war is not only shifting great power competition, but also changing "how each of these countries think about their bilateral relationships." For more on Russia's War in Syria, listen to Ret.

Washington was all agog this week after the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats came out swinging against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which refused to influence OPEC-Plus against cutting oil production last week. The move has the potential to roil already struggling energy markets and right before the November midterm elections. Biden is hopping mad — but is he surprised? And why did it seem to take him this long to get wise to MBS's venal machinations? We talk to Middle East expert Jon Hoffman about this and other dynamics that are making the Americans look like fools and sops in the region. In the first segment, we talk about those midterms and whether or not the Ukraine War will affect them — or be affected by them.More from Jon Hoffman:The Abraham Accords and the Imposed Middle East Order -- The National Interest, 10/3/22The United States Doesn't Need to Recommit to the Middle East -- Foreign Policy, 7/11/22Counter-revolutionary?

President Biden met with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman this summer — a man he had previously accused of ordering the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. But at the meeting, he met the Crown Prince with a fist bump. It all came as gas prices were rising globally, under pressure from Russia's war in Ukraine. One of Biden's goals was to convince Saudi Arabia's leaders to increase oil production. But this month, Saudi Arabia and the other oil producing countries of OPEC Plus decided to cut production by 2 million barrels a day. That move is expected to drive up gas prices, and put more money in Russia's pockets. It has prompted Democrats in Congress to call for the U.S. to rethink or even walk away from its seven-decade partnership with Saudi Arabia.NPR's International Affairs Correspondent Jackie Northam reports on where the relationship may be headed.And Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, explains why he plans to block future weapons sales to the Saudis.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Lou Pugliaresi is the President of the Energy Policy Research Foundation, Inc. (EPRINC) and joins Trisha Curtis for deep dive conversation on the Biden Administration's failed energy policies and the state of national energy security. Trisha and Lou talk at length about the Biden Administration's reaction to OPEC Plus' 2 mbd cut, Europe and LNG markets, and what the Administration would actually do if they were interested in increasing domestic oil and gas production, lowering oil prices, and increasing domestic energy security. They talk about the banks and the role of financing and ESG pressure and investing, the implications for sabotaging Nordstream 1 and 2 and the lack of long term LNG contracts being signed by Europe, and how Biden's energy policies mirror the failed energy and geopolitical policies of Europe. They talk about the massive growth in US crude oil output from 2010 to 2019 and the incredible domestic and global and benefits and geopolitical impacts that this production had on the US and the world.

President Biden visited Florida on Wednesday to survey the damage from Hurricane Ian, which has left at least 100 people dead in that state. So far, many of those victims are older adults. Dr. Sue Ann Bell, a disaster researcher at the University of Michigan, tells us why older people are especially vulnerable during natural disasters.The OPEC Plus coalition, led by Russia and Saudi Arabia, said it will cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day, which is expected to push energy prices higher around the world. The move would benefit Russia, and help finance its war against Ukraine.And in headlines: anti-government protests in Iran entered a third week, actor Alec Baldwin agreed to settle with the family of Halyna Hutchins, and longtime lesbian icon Velma Hinkley comes out in the latest Scooby Doo movie.Show Notes:The Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies – https://disasterstrategies.org/AARP Disaster Resilience Tool Kit – https://tinyurl.com/26jvwd3bVote Save America: Every Last Vote – https://votesaveamerica.com/every-last-vote/Crooked Coffee is officially here.

Highlights:     “Saudi Arabia and Russia, acting as the de-facto leaders of OPEC Plus, got the organization to agree on cutting oil production by 2 million barrels a day, that's 2% of global oil production, in order to force a global increase in the price of oil.” “What's happening right before our very eyes is Putin and OPEC are setting the stage for the fall of Europe's remaining liberal governments. We've already seen it in Sweden, with the election of a nationalist-populist coalition; in Italy, with the most rightwing and yes, relatively pro-Russian government in decades; we're seeing it in Orban's Hungary and Serbia and the like.
