On today's episode of the Sports Pundit Podcast, I'm joined by Jada Balster, CMO at Perk.Jada is a B2B marketing leader with more than 20 years of experience across companies including Epicor, S&P Global, and Adobe. Today she leads marketing at Perk, the all-in-one travel and spend management platform formerly known as TravelPerk.In this conversation, we explore how B2B marketing has evolved from a demand generation discipline into a brand-building function, and why Perk recently embarked on its biggest ever marketing investment through a company-wide rebrand. We discuss the role sport can play in accelerating brand growth, including why Perk selected the Audi Revolut Formula One team as its first major sports partnership, and how the company plans to stand out as Formula One continues to get noisier for incoming brands.Timestamps02:00 - Jada's Career Journey04:00 - TravelPerk Becomes Perk06:00 - Rebrand Rollout and Metrics10:00 - Why Sport and F1 Fit15:00 - Choosing the Audi Partnership24:00 - Integration Beyond the Logo27:00 - Activating Across Channels34:00 - What's Next for Perk

Ein Standpunkt von Michael Hollister.Während Millionen Autofahrer den Preis an der Zapfsäule für eine Art Naturgewalt halten - mal teurer, mal billiger, scheinbar dem Weltmarkt ausgeliefert -, hat sich in Düsseldorf ein Vorgang abgespielt, der die eigentliche Frage freilegt: Wer setzt diesen Preis, und warum darf ausgerechnet die Behörde, die ihn prüfen soll, nicht hinsehen? Am 30. April 2026 teilte das Bundeskartellamt mit, dass ein Gericht seine bislang ehrgeizigste Untersuchung des Kraftstoffgroßhandels vorläufig gestoppt hat. Ausgebremst wurde das Amt nicht von einem Ölkonzern, sondern von zwei Unternehmen, die mit Kraftstoff nicht einmal handeln: den Preisinformationsdiensten Argus Media und S&P Global. Sie melden, bewerten und veröffentlichen die Notierungen, an denen sich der gesamte Markt orientiert. Und sie haben vor dem Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf durchgesetzt, dass sie dem Kartellamt nicht offenlegen müssen, wer ihnen diese Preise zuspielt.Damit steht eine Frage im Raum, die weit über Deutschland hinausreicht: Wer kontrolliert die privaten Institutionen, die den Ölpreis faktisch herstellen - und was geschieht, wenn der Staat versucht, ihnen auf die Finger zu schauen? Die Antwort, die Düsseldorf zumindest vorläufig gibt, ist ernüchternd. Die entscheidende Stufe der Preisbildung liegt im Halbschatten zwischen privatem Geschäft und öffentlicher Funktion - und sie verteidigt diesen Halbschatten mit einem Argument, das man dort am wenigsten erwartet hätte: der Pressefreiheit. Es ist die stille Macht hinter der Zapfsäule, und sie hat in der ersten Runde gewonnen.Es lohnt sich, diesen Fall ernst zu nehmen, gerade weil er auf den ersten Blick technisch wirkt. Hinter den Paragrafen verbirgt sich eine Machtfrage, die jeden betrifft, der tankt, heizt oder Waren kauft, deren Transport am Dieselpreis hängt. Und sie verbirgt sich gut: kein spektakulärer Skandal, keine geständigen Konzernchefs, sondern ein Eilbeschluss, eine Handvoll Aktenzeichen und ein Begriff - Quellenschutz -, der hier eine Bedeutung annimmt, die seine Erfinder kaum vorgesehen haben.Vom Bohrloch zum GerichtsbeschlussDer Vorgang beginnt nicht mit dem Gericht, sondern mit einer Bestandsaufnahme. Am 19. Februar 2025 schloss das Bundeskartellamt seine Sektoruntersuchung zu Raffinerien und Kraftstoffgroßhandel ab. Das Ergebnis lieferte erste Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass die im Großhandel genutzten Preisinformationsdienste ein wettbewerbliches Risiko bergen: Sie versorgen die Marktteilnehmer mit sehr detaillierten und tagesaktuellen Informationen über das Verhalten der jeweils anderen. Wo alle in nahezu Echtzeit wissen, zu welchen Konditionen die Konkurrenz abschließt, kann der Wettbewerb erlahmen - und die Gefahr wächst, dass einzelne Akteure die Notierungen gezielt in ihre Richtung schieben.Die Logik dahinter ist subtiler als ein klassisches Kartell. Es braucht keine Absprache am Telefon, keine geheime Vereinbarung. Es genügt, dass alle Beteiligten dieselben, sehr genauen Informationen über die Abschlüsse der anderen besitzen. In einem solchen Umfeld richtet sich jeder am beobachtbaren Verhalten der Konkurrenz aus, ohne den Preiskampf zu suchen, der einen funktionierenden Wettbewerb auszeichnet. Genau diese stillschweigende Parallelität - Ökonomen sprechen von kollusivem Gleichlauf - ist mit den Mitteln des klassischen Kartellrechts kaum zu fassen. Sie war der Grund, warum der Gesetzgeber überhaupt ein strukturelles Instrument schuf. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

At S&P Global's annual meeting, the company faced a shareholder proposal from the Heritage Foundation via its Free Enterprise Initiative, asking the company to report on the risks of the company’s work with activist groups like the Human Rights Campaign. Meanwhile, the company became once again embroiled in controversy over its ESG rating policies while this engagement was going on, underscoring politicization concerns. As Heritage’s Stefan Padfield told the company at its annual meeting: Another red flag calling into question the Company’s status quo is a recent letter from a coalition of 23 states questioning the lawfulness of the ESG policies of S&P Global Ratings. This letter was led in part by Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers and raises the specter of undisclosed and unlawful material conflicts of interest, as well as concerns related to antitrust violations and deceptive trade practices – all connected to the Company’s embrace of politically charged ESG. The foregoing list of red flags suggesting biased decision-making at S&P Global should make it difficult for shareholders to trust the status quo.

AMD最新Helios AI平台，一個專為進階AI工作設計的超級系統！專為訓練兆級參數的AI模型而生，不僅提供最大頻寬，還兼顧能源效率。開放的ROCm軟體，部署更簡單，為您帶來可擴充且創新的AI解決方案。 https://fstry.pse.is/95rpq7 點選連結到AMD 官網了解更多 —— 以上為 Firstory Podcast 廣告 —— 這個世界很有趣，當股市持續創高、人工智慧成為全球最熱門話題時，很多人開始以為地緣政治風險已經遠離我們。但事實上，過去幾個月牽動全球經濟神經的伊朗衝突，並沒有真正結束。最近市場之所以相對平靜，是因為外界普遍期待美國和伊朗即將達成停火協議。然而，當雙方談判仍在進行之際，美軍與伊朗部隊卻持續發生軍事衝突，顯示所謂的和平距離真正落地仍然十分遙遠。更重要的是，這場衝突最大的影響並不只是軍事層面，而是攸關全球能源供應與通貨膨脹的未來走向。和平協議真的能夠順利達成嗎？能源危機是否即將告一段落？我們今天來解讀看看。一、5月28日，美國媒體Axios引述官員消息指出，美國與伊朗談判團隊已就一份為期60天的停火諒解備忘錄（MOU）達成初步共識，希望延長目前停火狀態，並展開更正式的核計畫談判。然而幾天後，美國副總統J.D. Vance卻表示，川普尚未正式批准相關協議。與此同時，美軍仍擊落伊朗無人機並空襲伊朗境內軍事設施，伊朗方面則迅速展開報復行動，攻擊美軍基地，形成停火以來最嚴重的一次軍事衝突。事實上，目前雙方最核心的爭議，包括伊朗核計畫、飛彈與無人機能力、波斯灣安全架構，以及荷姆茲海峽未來的通行安排，都還沒有真正進入實質解決階段。即便協議最終達成，也更像是一份暫時性的停戰安排，而非真正結束衝突的和平協議。如果談判最終失敗，全球可能面臨三種情境：第一是維持目前名存實亡的停火狀態；第二是衝突全面升級；第三則是美國選擇逐步退出中東事務。對美國而言，這場衝突最大的問題在於，原本期待透過軍事施壓迫使伊朗讓步，但伊朗不但沒有被擊垮，反而在全球能源供應持續緊張的背景下，逐漸累積更多談判籌碼。我們怎麼解讀？二、5月下旬以來，國際能源市場對於停火協議的期待一度讓油價回落，但隨著談判出現反覆，布蘭特原油價格再度逼近每桶100美元。瑞銀（UBS）、摩根大通（JP Morgan）以及S&P Global等機構陸續提出警告，認為全球能源市場已進入供應風險更高的新階段。摩根大通甚至指出，如果目前供應受阻的情況持續下去，全球商業石油庫存最快在6月底前就可能降至危險水位。更值得注意的是，即便美伊最終達成協議，能源供應也不可能立即恢復正常。許多油田因長期停產需要重新啟動，部分液化天然氣設施受到損害，波斯灣周邊仍有超過2000艘船舶等待重新調度，而荷姆茲海峽部分海域甚至還需要進行排雷作業。根據相關產業評估，部分油田重新恢復產能需要七個月以上時間，而海峽運能恢復至戰前八成水準也可能需要四個月以上，全面正常化甚至可能延續到2027年。換句話說，即使戰爭降溫，能源危機也未必同步結束。過去幾年全球對能源安全與能源轉型投資不足的問題，正在透過高油價、高通膨以及供應短缺逐步浮現。未來一年，能源市場恐怕仍將維持高波動狀態，各國政府、企業以及消費者都必須為更高的能源成本做好準備。我們又該如何看待這場可能持續很久的能源挑戰？ Powered by Firstory Hosting

¿Por qué algunas empresas atraviesan guerras, crisis, recesiones e inflaciones, y siguen ganando dinero como si nada? ¿Y por qué otras, que parecían imbatibles hace 20 años, hoy ni las recordás?En este video te muestro las cuatro señales que vuelven a una empresa prácticamente indestructible. Es el concepto de "ventaja competitiva" que Warren Buffett popularizó, explicado de forma simple, con ejemplos concretos: Coca-Cola, Visa, Microsoft, Moody's, S&P Global.

iotum named the only Canadian key CPaaS provider by S&P Global on its worldwide list of 25 platforms as company, Helping UCaaS Providers Punch Above Their Weight with CPaaS, AI and Branded Communications, Podcast By Doug Green “Let us worry about it. Let the product people do what we're good at, and you can service your customers.” iotum has been named by S&P Global as the only Canadian key CPaaS provider on its worldwide list of 25 platforms, a recognition that comes as the company is launching a new softphone for UCaaS resellers. In this CCA podcast, I spoke with Jason Martin, CEO of iotum, about what the recognition means, how iotum is helping UCaaS providers expand their offerings, and why CPaaS, AI and branded communications are becoming more important to the next phase of the channel. The conversation centered on a familiar challenge in the communications market: many providers began as PBX companies, moved into UCaaS, and then continued adding services as customer expectations changed. Today, customers want messaging, video, branded applications, automation and AI-enabled communications experiences. For many resellers, the question is how to deliver those capabilities without having to build everything themselves. Martin said iotum is helping providers solve that problem through CPaaS capabilities and through its role in the Crexendo and NetSapiens ecosystem. For Crexendo partners, he said iotum can provide services that allow resellers to “punch above their weight,” offering advanced capabilities under their own brand. Those capabilities include A2P messaging, video and a new softphone that is becoming popular with NetSapiens users. The model is designed to let channel partners stay focused on customer relationships, while iotum handles the product and platform work behind the scenes. That is an important distinction. In a market where customers increasingly expect integrated communications experiences, smaller providers often need access to enterprise-grade tools without taking on the cost and complexity of developing them internally. iotum's approach gives those providers a way to extend their offerings while maintaining their own brand identity. The S&P Global recognition also points to a larger trend. CPaaS is no longer simply an enterprise developer category. It is becoming a practical way for UCaaS providers, resellers and channel partners to add communications capabilities that can be branded, integrated and delivered as part of a broader customer relationship. Martin also discussed how the communications industry is being shaped by regulation, global market changes and AI. iotum operates in highly regulated environments, including the U.S., Canada and Europe, and Martin noted that providers have to think carefully about compliance, customer trust and the requirements of different markets. Looking ahead, Martin said agentic AI will be “massive,” but he framed the opportunity in practical terms. Rather than replacing human communication, he sees AI adding to what communications providers already do. For iotum, that means an API-focused future in which AI agents can use communications tools to help people connect, collaborate and get work done. That point matters for service providers. As AI becomes more embedded in communications, the opportunity will not simply be to sell another feature. The larger opportunity will be to connect AI, voice, messaging, video and customer workflows in a way that helps businesses communicate more effectively. For channel partners, the message is clear: the next phase of cloud communications will reward providers that can combine trusted customer relationships with new technical capabilities. iotum is positioning itself as one of the companies helping partners make that jump.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1349: Today we talk about Mitsubishi cutting weak dealers while betting on a product comeback, the growing FTC pressure pushing vendors toward all-in pricing transparency, and Pizza Hut discovering the hottest new trend in retail… 1990s nostalgia complete with red cups and Pac-Man.Mitsubishi is shrinking its dealer network while promising a future product comeback. The brand has cut underperforming stores, frustrated some retailers with low profits and aging products, but says a new EV and refreshed lineup could turn things around.Mitsubishi's U.S. dealer count has dropped 16% since 2019, falling from 355 stores to just under 300 today.CEO Mark Chaffin says the strategy is “quality over quantity,” replacing low-volume stores with higher-performing operators expected to sell 3-5x more vehicles.Dealers say profits are razor thin, with many relying on used cars to stay afloat while struggling with an aging lineup and heavy fleet sales.Mitsubishi is betting on its “Momentum 2030” plan, including a new electric crossover this fall and several electrified models through 2030.One frustrated dealer summed it up bluntly: “Eventually Mitsubishi may get there with the new product, but it's going to have to commit more to the U.S. if it wants to do well here.”As regulators tighten the screws on vehicle pricing transparency, vendors are racing to help dealers stay compliant. S&P Global Mobility and TrueCar both rolled out new tools designed to simplify fee disclosures, standardize pricing, and avoid FTC headaches before they become lawsuits.S&P Global Mobility launched “FeeSync,” a free industrywide tool that lets dealers update fees across vendors and marketplaces from one central hub.The push comes as the FTC continues sending warning letters to nearly 100 dealer groups over pricing and advertising practices.TrueCar updated its platform to display all-in pricing upfront, including dealer fees and add-ons, with expandable disclosures for shoppers.TrueCar CEO Scott Painter said the platform's goal is “a transactional price that is good for both the dealer and the car buyer upfront, without negotiation.”Pizza Hut is leaning hard into retro vibes, remodeling stores to look like peak-1990s dine-in restaurants complete with Pac-Man, stained-glass lamps, and those iconic red cups. Turns out millennials will absolutely drive three hours for a little childhood comfort food.Since 2019, Pizza Hut has converted 144 locations into “Pizza Hut Classics” with throwback décor and dine-in experiences.Some remodeled stores are now top performers, with customers traveling long distances just to relive the experience.The nostalgia push comes as Pizza Hut closes underperforming locations while rival Domino's continues expanding aggressively.Pizza Hut is also reviving its legendary “BOOK IT!” reading program, rewarding kids with pizza for summer reading goals.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Learn what happens when the executive accountable for data strategy is also the executive accountable for the business results that depend on it. Saugata Saha, President of S&P Global Market Intelligence and Chief Enterprise Data Officer at S&P Global, shares how he manages one of the world's largest financial data estates while driving business outcomes across public and private markets. He breaks down the four pillars of S&P Global's data strategy, the federated organizational model that connects data teams to business value, and why capturing ROI from AI requires deliberate workflow transformation. Key Moments Why Data Strategy Must Follow Business Strategy (04:57): Saugata challenges the idea that data and business strategy can run in parallel. Market trends, customer pain points, and existing capabilities must come first. Building an AI-Ready Financial Data Estate (15:10): Scale alone does not create intelligence. Saugata explains why semantic layers and graph databases are the hard work behind connected financial data. How AI Compresses Post-Acquisition Data Integration (18:29): Manual reconciliation of millions of records is no longer the only path. Discover how AI entity matching accelerated post-acquisition integration. The Federated Model That Connects Data to Value (22:49): Most large organizations either over-centralize data teams or leave them too embedded to scale. Saugata outlines the federated model that actually bridges both. Rethinking AI Productivity: From Marginal to Transformative (28:29): Most AI programs stop at training and tooling. Saugata explains why deliberately redesigning workflows is the missing step between AI investment and real ROI. Key Quotes “Data strategy and business strategy have to be very tightly connected. And if they're not, that's when value capture does not happen. In fact, I would go so far as to say data strategy actually follows from business strategy.” - Saugata Saha “Stop treating data as an afterthought or byproduct, but start thinking about data as a key ingredient for value creation and competitive advantage.” - Saugata Saha “We don't want everybody to become 10% more productive, because that's a little squishy. We want 10% of the people to become a hundred percent more productive so they can do other things.” - Saugata Saha “If a company can really use data at scale for better decision making, better client service, [and] better outcomes, that creates a lasting edge over the competition.” - Saugata Saha Mentions S&P Global Agrees to Acquire With Intelligence from Motive Partners for $1.8 Billion, Establishing Its Leadership in Private Markets Intelligence The Data & AI Chief: Why a Federated Data Team is Crucial for Business Value, with Dow Private Companies Wait Too Long to Go Public The Lex Fridman Podcast Guest Bios  Saugata serves as President of S&P Global Market Intelligence, leading the division's efforts to deliver essential insights and intelligence to clients worldwide. He is also S&P Global's Chief Enterprise Data Officer, responsible for driving innovation and excellence in the company's enterprise data strategy. Saugata is a member of S&P Global's Executive Leadership Team, contributing to the strategic direction and growth of the organization. Before joining S&P Global, Saugata was a consultant at McKinsey & Company's New York office, where he advised clients on strategy, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and operational improvements across various industries, with a strong focus on financial services.

Agentúra S&P Global znížila Slovensku rating z A+ na A. Ministerstvo financií pokrčilo plecami. Ale to, čo sa stalo v ten istý piatok, je oveľa výrečnejšie: Litve rating zvýšili.

Kevin Birn, oil analyst and head of carbon research with S&P Global, says the conflict in Iran has permanently altered global energy markets, pushing countries to prioritize energy security and supply diversification. Even if a peace deal is struck and the Strait of Hormuz reopens immediately, he argues it could still take months to reconnect damaged supply chains, clear vessel backlogs, and restore disrupted production across the region.The Hub is Canada's fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaSubscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify) Want more Hub?

What if the greatest threat to your organization isn't lurking in the shadows but is accelerating right in front of you? In a world where AI can uncover vulnerabilities in minutes where it once took weeks, and where nearly two-thirds of organizations don't even know where all their data lives, the rules of cybersecurity are being rewritten in real time. The Emerging Battle for Data Protection reveals a stark reality: data is expanding faster than our ability to protect it, attackers are moving at machine speed, and the race to secure what matters most is no longer theoretical, it's happening now. In this episode, recorded live at RSA Conference 2026, Scott Crawford, Information Security Research Head, 451 Research / S&P Global and Todd Moore, Vice President Data Security Products at Thales, join us to discuss some of the key findings of the 2026 Thales Data Threat Report.

A few months ago, the oil market looked pretty serene. But the US-Iran war has upended global supplies and pushed energy security to the top of the policy agenda. Importers have realised they need to diversify their energy sources. What role will renewables have to play? And would a shift towards green energy just mean trading one bottleneck for another?

Gas ist die Brückentechnologie. Der saubere Brennstoff für den Übergang zu den erneuerbaren Energien. Vier Jahre nach dem russischen Überfall auf die Ukraine erlebt der Gasmarkt einen neuen Preisschock. Amerikanische LNG-Unternehmen profitieren, doch selbst sie sind besorgt, dass auffällt: Früher war Flüssiggas teuer, aber zuverlässig. Jetzt ist es teuer und unzuverlässig. Gast: Ira Joseph, Experte am Zentrum für Globale Energiepolitik der Columbia-Universität in New York.

Almost four hundred thousand American workers dropped out of the labor force in March, setting yet a new low in labor participation. Why? There are no jobs, a fact confirmed by both the employment estimate plus an utterly dismal hiring rate from JOLTS, one that rivaled January and February 2009. There's more, too. S&P Global said the services sector contracted for the first time in three years last month and a decline in its employment index, showing how the oil price shock is already starting to sting. Eurodollar University's conversations w/Steve Van Metre-------------------------------------------------------------In a world where markets swing on every headline, focus matters.

This week's episode dives into the massive ripple effects of the Strait of Hormuz closure, which has resulted in Asia-US West Coast ocean spot rates surging by 29%. We explore how shippers are reacting to severe port congestion in Asian transshipment hubs by aggressively paying premium rates to secure desperately needed capacity for the future. Next, we discuss the recent financial boost for Echo Global Logistics, as debt rating agencies Moody's and S&P Global upgraded the 3PL's outlook from stable to positive. This upgraded outlook follows their acquisition of ITS Logistics, which analysts project will significantly improve Echo's free cash flow and boost its EBITDA by over $114 million. Finally, we cover the staggering $4 billion investment by Mercedes-Benz to upgrade its historic assembly plant in Vance, Alabama by 2030. This massive manufacturing expansion will lock in a vital, long-term pipeline of finished vehicle freight for Norfolk Southern, which handles the plant's inbound and outbound logistics.

We are now nearly a month into the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The conflict has lasted much longer than some energy experts initially expected — and it has built up an unprecedented crisis that is set to cascade from Asia to the rest of the world.On this episode of Shift Key, Rob chats in Houston with Karim Fawaz, an oil and refineries expert and a director in the energy and natural resources group at S&P Global Energy.Rob and Karim discuss whether the world is already locked into an energy crisis — even if Trump ends the war now. They also talk about why jet fuel has been particularly hard hit and how this crisis could reshape the long-term trajectory of the energy industry — and even of climate change itself.This episode was recorded on the sidelines of CERAWeek by S&P Global, the big annual energy conference in Houston, Texas.

In this episode, Mauricio sits down with Adam Reeds, co-founder and CEO of Ledn, to discuss his upbringing in Canada in a family shaped by his father's work in agricultural banking and his mother's career in education — a stable, functional financial backdrop that would later contrast sharply with Mauricio's Venezuelan experience and ultimately inspire the founding of Ledn. Adam breaks down Ledn's landmark $188 million Bitcoin-backed loan ABS (Asset-Backed Securities) bond — the first of its kind in history. He explains how the structure mirrors traditional finance vehicles used for auto loans, mortgages, and credit card debt, and why fitting Bitcoin-backed loans into that framework unlocks access to the $3 trillion US ABS market. He details why Ledn was uniquely positioned to pull this off after eight years of operating with zero client or loan losses. He also explains how that track record was essential for S&P Global to issue the first-ever investment grade rating on a Bitcoin product. Adam walks through the rigorous year-long process with S&P, including stress tests around Bitcoin volatility, liquidation thresholds, and systemic risk scenarios — many of which played out live as Bitcoin's price dropped from the 80s to the 60s during the deal's marketing period, ultimately validating Ledn's automated and non-discretionary processes in real time. Led by Jefferies as structuring agent, the deal attracted 15 institutional participants across 50 meetings, including a major reinsurance company, traditional credit funds, and hedge funds. It closed more than two times oversubscribed on the senior tranche and three times on the mezzanine. Adam explains how the bond's structure — with Fidelity as custodian and a blended rate of 7.2% — brings unprecedented transparency to Ledn's operations, allowing clients to see exactly where their Bitcoin sits and how the funding side of the business works. He also discusses how this model removes the arbitrary jurisdictional barriers of traditional lending by treating Bitcoin collateral from borrowers around the world as equal, regardless of geography. Looking ahead, Adam previews lower rates for borrowers, expansion into more US states, better functionality for business accounts at Ledn, and the rollout of Ledn's mobile app.

Today we had the honor of welcoming back Dr. Dan Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Chairman of CERAWeek. Dan is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, one of the most respected voices in energy, and a longtime authority on the intersection of energy, geopolitics, and the global economy. He is also the author of The Prize, The Quest, and The New Map, books that have helped shape how the industry understands energy history, markets, and geopolitical risk. With CERAWeek kicking off on March 23, we were delighted to hear Dan's latest insights on the evolving energy landscape, along with a preview of the key themes and conversations likely to shape this year's conference (current agenda available here). Our conversation began with Dan's perspective on how recent events in Iran have dramatically changed the backdrop heading into CERAWeek, and why the market may have been too complacent in the early days of the disruption. Dan shares his view that bad policy is often made under duress, reminds us that oil prices were already moving higher during the Gulf buildup, and explains why this moment should be viewed through a broader lens than just the formal start of the conflict itself. We explore the themes likely to shape CERAWeek this year, including the growing convergence of energy, power, and tech, the role of gas and electricity in the AI buildout, the importance of critical minerals and copper, infrastructure and permitting, nuclear, and the future direction of upstream oil and gas. We touch on Europe's continued energy vulnerability, the renewed importance of U.S. LNG, the prospect of Europe once again competing with Asia for cargoes, the unique risks that LNG faces through the Strait of Hormuz, and the broader implications for global gas markets. We discuss the range of outcomes for Gulf production shut-ins, why U.S. producers are unlikely to react to short-term price spikes, how insurance, freight costs, and physical security are shaping traffic through the Strait, and what the performance of the U.S. and Israeli militaries indicates about the scale of planning behind this operation. We also look at the longer-term questions underneath the current crisis, including the changing role of Gulf capital, the infrastructure limits around the Strait, the historic arc of Iran's posture in the region, and why the convergence of tech and energy may be one of the most important and constructive forces shaping the industry today. As always, it was an insightful and thought-provoking discussion. Many thanks to Dan for sharing his perspective and time with us all. Mike Bradley started the show by noting that the market conversation this week has once again been focused on U.S. strikes against Iran and the short- and intermediate-term fallout across commodities and equities. In crude, he highlighted that WTI has moved from the mid-$60s/bbl before the war to ~$85/bbl, after peaking near $120/bbl on Sunday night into Monday morning. The effective shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has been the main driver for global oil prices, with Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia cutting production by 5–7 mmbpd due mostly to onshore oil storage constraints. WTI fell roughly $10/bbl in Tuesday's trading due to rumors of a potential coordinated global SPR release of 300–400 million barrels. This war in Iran, at this point, should be viewed differently than the Ukraine war from an oil, natural gas, and economic standpoint. Global oil prices peaked about one month into that conflict, EU natural gas prices peaked roughly six months in, and economic stats such as U.S. CPI and PPI were significantly higher than today, so the pain threshold heading into this war seems more manageable. On the Energy equity front, the Energy sector is flattish since the Iran war started, significantly underperforming oil prices, with investors choosing not to chase energy equities with the move h

In this jam-packed news and earnings episode, Simon and Dan dig into the hyperscaler AI spending arms race—and what it could mean for shareholders. They break down Alphabet’s blowout quarter (surging Cloud growth, stronger engagement from AI-powered search, and a push to “own the transaction layer” online), but also debate the market’s unease as buybacks take a back seat to massive capex plans. They then unpack why S&P Global got punished despite only a slight miss, and discuss which parts of the business could be most exposed to AI-driven disruption (while also noting the durability of the ratings moat). Next, they touch on Allied Properties REIT after a brutal drop tied to equity issuance and weakening leasing trends. The episode wraps with Amazon’s strong AWS momentum and accelerating infrastructure buildout, a candid look at Lightspeed’s worrying sequential slowdown and its growing merchant cash-advance/lending exposure, and Spotify’s margin and free-cash-flow surge—plus the competitive threat from YouTube Premium as pricing converges.
