Singapore’s job market is getting tighter, with employers becoming more selective about who they bring on board. Nearly half of companies surveyed plan to keep their headcount unchanged in the fourth quarter, while graduate employment has also softened. Yet Minister Ong Ye Kung says graduates can remain confident that Singapore is still creating jobs. So, what does this changing labour market mean for fresh graduates, and what will it take to stay competitive?

Property prices are falling, borrowing power is tightening, and the old playbook is losing its edge, forcing investors to rethink their strategy. Here is what to look for. On The Smart Property Investment Show, SPI managing editor Liam Garman is joined by Andrew Havig, founder of buyer's agency Arvon Property Group, to discuss where investors could find opportunity as market conditions diverge across Australia. The pair look at why investors need to look beyond the headlines, with some markets seeing falling prices and softer demand while others remain competitive due to tight housing supply and strong fundamentals. When assessing an asset, Havig said investors should take into account intrinsic value, replacement cost, gentrification potential, and local housing supply. The conversation turns to cash flow and yield, with Havig explaining why investors are increasingly focusing on properties that can remain cash flow neutral or positive, particularly as borrowing conditions become tougher and portfolio growth gets harder. He also explains why first-time investors should focus on building a strong residential portfolio before moving into commercial property.

Rory Johnston returns to Oil Ground Up with David Wech, Chief Economist at Vortexa, for a deep dive into one of the most complicated oil markets in recent memory. With crude and refined products moving through increasingly opaque trade routes, Rory and David examine what tanker data is actually telling us about oil on water, the Strait of Hormuz, Russian exports, diesel shortages, China and the changing global flow of barrels. David explains why the global market can simultaneously have plenty of theoretical crude supply while still experiencing severe regional shortages and logistical bottlenecks. They discuss declining U.S. crude exports, Ukrainian attacks on Russian refining and export infrastructure, and why diesel may currently be the tightest part of the entire oil complex. The conversation then turns to China, where rising refinery utilization and product exports could be bearish for diesel while increasing China's demand for crude. David also explains how the loss of Iranian barrels, competition for Russian crude, and reduced Atlantic Basin flows into Asia could create another period of significant crude tightness if Middle Eastern exports fail to recover as expected. Finally, Rory and David dig into the challenge of tracking “dark” tanker movements through Hormuz, why short-term transit estimates can be misleading, and the emergence of a shuttle-tanker system moving crude out of the Persian Gulf. David lays out his outlook for the coming months—including the possibility that renewed geopolitical escalation could collide with an Asian market increasingly positioned for higher Middle Eastern supply.

On May 14, the Supreme Court handed down one of the biggest trucking decisions in a generation — and most small carriers still haven't heard about it. Montgomery v. Caribe Transport. Nine to zero. Freight brokers can now be sued in every state in the country for negligently selecting an unsafe motor carrier. The federal shield that protected them for years is gone. Every headline called it a broker problem. Bryan Nelson will tell you the truth — it's about to become your problem. Because when brokers carry that kind of exposure, they don't absorb it. They push it down. Tighter vetting. Deeper background checks on your authority, your scores, your insurance. Rewritten agreements with indemnification language designed to make you hold the bag. Monitoring you've never dealt with before. And carriers with conditional ratings, rough inspection histories, or brand-new authority are about to find doors closing that were open six months ago. Bryan has spent his career on both sides of this table — years as general counsel inside a broker, a motor carrier, and a TMS, and now a partner at a transportation law firm defending trucking companies. He breaks down what the Court actually decided, what brokers are changing right now, the contract language headed for your inbox, and the exact moves that protect your authority, your assets, and your access to freight in the new landscape. Your safety scores just became your sales resume. Your paperwork just became your armor.

Half Your Business Is Unprofitable, Which Half? with Jay Bourgana   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com  or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/   You closed out a strong month. Revenue was up. And somehow cash still felt tight, and you couldn't fully explain why. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, and it's not bad luck. It's a visibility problem, and it's more common than you think. In this episode, Rocky sits down with Jay Bourgana, an operator who has built, run, and exited businesses across real estate, manufacturing, and data, and now advises companies doing $10M to $150M. Jay makes a claim that should stop every owner listening: roughly half of what a typical company does is unprofitable, and the owner has no idea which half. Not because they're careless, but because they're managing off averages and aggregates instead of real numbers broken down by client and product.   In This Episode: Why the accounting system is a 60 to 90 day lagging report, not a decision-making tool Why roughly 50% of typical business activity is quietly unprofitable How top operators build a designed hiring system instead of a reactive one Why being the best salesperson in your own company can lower what it's worth Why AI speeds up whatever you already have, chaos included What Elon Musk and Sam Walton do differently with constraints and pattern recognition   Key Takeaways: Track leading and mid-cycle indicators, not just accounting data that's already 60 to 90 days old. Break profitability down by client and product. Averages hide the unprofitable half. Build a documented ideal talent profile for every key role and recruit against it continuously. Find the actual bottleneck before adding AI or any new resource. Speed exposes weak systems fast. Constrain resources on purpose. Tighter budgets force better decisions than more spending does.   About Jay Bourgana: Jay Bourgana is an operator, investor, and founder of Acquisition Collective, where he helps entrepreneurs buy and scale cash-flowing businesses. After years building, operating, and acquiring companies across multiple industries, Jay now teaches first-time buyers how to source deals, evaluate risk, negotiate with sellers, and think like real operators, not spectators.   Links: Website: https://acquisitionscollective.biz/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-bourgana/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jay.bourgana Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jay_bourgana X: https://x.com/JayBourgana YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AcquisitionCollective TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@acquisitioncollective   Profit Blueprint Calculator I Profit Comes First: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/profitblueprintcalc-page   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

UBS under CEO Sergio Ermotti has focused on integrating Credit Suisse and expanding wealth management, supporting cross-border services and selective credit. Deutsche Bank led by CEO Christian Sewing continues its restructuring with emphasis on fixed income, currencies, and corporate transaction services. Stronger bank profits can influence lending standards, underwriting capacity, and capital markets activity across Europe and for U.S. clients. Founders should benchmark credit terms across multiple banks, evaluate fixed versus floating-rate exposure, and maintain documented hedging policies for euro and Swiss franc flows.

A Bloomberg opinion column on July 20, 2026 argued for tighter Federal Reserve policy, putting the FOMC and Chair Jerome Powell in focus. Tighter conditions would operate through higher policy rates and quantitative tightening, affecting bank funding costs and credit availability. Small and midsize businesses could see stricter lending standards, more expensive working capital, and slower approvals. Venture-backed companies would face compressed valuation multiples, longer fundraising timelines, and more bridge financing. Customers may slow purchases in rate-sensitive sectors, lengthening sales cycles and raising procurement hurdles. Founders can prepare by fixing more debt, building liquidity buffers, diversifying banking, and prioritizing efficient growth while monitoring upcoming Fed communications and data.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Attention then turns to the mortgage market, with borrowing capacities shrinking and investor activity slowing, raising fresh questions about what the next phase of lending could look like for brokers and borrowers alike.

The Federal Open Market Committee signaled a longer stretch of restrictive policy while inflation trends toward two percent, and major equity indexes slipped as Treasury yields moved higher. Chair Jerome Powell reiterated data dependence, and markets priced tighter financial conditions. Historical episodes in 2000, 2007 to 2009, and late 2018 show that hawkish signals have sometimes preceded large equity drawdowns. Tighter policy often coincides with stricter bank lending standards, higher interest expense on credit lines tied to SOFR and prime, and more selective venture debt terms. Small caps and private companies tend to feel pressure earlier, with private valuations adjusting after public markets. Founders are responding by stress testing revenue, pacing hiring to cash visibility, tightening payment terms, and managing treasury exposure to duration and equity risk.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Is Trucking About to Repeat Its Biggest Mistake Again? Everyone is talking about the next trucking "super cycle." But who benefits  most from selling such a narrative? Higher rates. Tighter capacity. A new golden era. But haven't we heard this before? On this episode of Brake Check, we're asking the question many in trucking are afraid to ask: Is the industry chasing another hype cycle... or is this time actually different? Joining Charles are three guests with completely different perspectives on the freight market. Tyler Johnston: Mercer Transportation Operations leader at one of America's most respected owner-operator carriers, discussing what disciplined fleets are actually seeing on the ground. Tommy Valenzuela:  Recruiting Professional of the Year, One of trucking's leading carrier advocates, sharing what drivers and fleets are experiencing as hiring, retention, and capacity begin to shift. Sage Outcast: Broker, insurance expert, and one of trucking's biggest pot stirrers Never afraid to challenge conventional wisdom, Sage brings his unfiltered take on freight rates, insurance, broker dynamics, and whether the "super cycle" narrative is fact or fantasy. We tackle: Is the trucking super cycle real? Are freight rates telling the whole story? Why freight rates can rise while freight volume falls. The biggest mistakes carriers made the last time everyone trusted "industry voices" Why costs still threaten profitability. Capacity, recruiting, insurance, and the market signals nobody should ignore. What owner-operators, fleets, brokers, and executives should be watching next. No corporate talking points. No hype. No echo chamber. Just real conversations backed by experience from every side of the trucking industry. If you're a truck driver, owner-operator, fleet owner, carrier executive, freight broker, logistics professional, or simply trying to understand where trucking is headed next, this episode is for you.

RBC's Canadian Industrials Conference in Toronto wrapped with more reasons for optimism than many expected. In this conference takeaway, Walter Spracklin, Director of Canadian Research and Co-Head of Global Industrials Research, debriefs with analysts Sabahat Khan, James McGarragle, and Matthew McKellar on the key themes that emerged. Steel producers are finding ways to mitigate U.S. tariffs, the freight recession is easing, and the most significant buzz centred on the government's nation-building infrastructure and defence plans.Key Points• Canada's nation-building plans are boosting industrial confidence, while its defense strategy creates a tailwind for the country's aerospace sector.• Tighter supply has helped to ease the long-running freight recession.• Steel suppliers are diversifying from U.S. exposure to mitigate trade tariffs.• Tariffs have also hit lumber hard, with supply tightening in response.• AI deployment is positioning the transport sector for operational efficiencies.Introductions [00:06]Host Walter Spracklin refers to RBC's recent Canadian industrials conference in Toronto, which heard from 38 participating companies. He introduces three colleagues – Sabahat Khan, James McGarragle, and Matthew McKellar – to discuss the key themes that emerged.Freight recession eases [00:47]The freight recession dominated last year's conference, but tighter supply driven by regulatory changes has lifted pricing, with positive impacts on rail too.Tariff impacts on industrials [02:05]Section 232 tariffs are creating direct impacts across steel-exposed industrials, while broader tariff uncertainty is delaying some large capital project decisions.Government plans inject confidence [04:30]The Canadian government's new strategies on nation-building infrastructure are lifting confidence in the market. Its plans to increase defense spending and prioritize Canadian producers are seen as a potentially lasting tailwind for aerospace companies.Paper and forest production [9:36]Demand is poor and the lumber sector has been hit hard by tariffs. However, tighter supply has set up the industry for better conditions at lower levels of demand in future.AI and capital allocation [13:01]Other common themes at the conference were the deployment of AI to achieve efficiencies, especially in transport; and the disciplined allocation of capital, balancing organic growth with strategic M&A.

Connect With ChazDuring the Great Recession, Peter Goldstein lost his business, his real estate portfolio, and his marriage within three years. He also had a 90 percent blockage in his lower left ventricle and was hours away from dying. He was in his late forties, in shame, and had to decide whether to play small or rebuild from nothing.He rebuilt.Today Peter is the CEO of Exchange Listing, founder of the Emmis Capital IPO fund, and author of The Entrepreneur's IPO. He has 30 years of experience guiding small and mid-sized companies through the public markets and has watched more IPO cycles than almost anyone alive. In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Peter breaks down what the current capital environment actually means for contractor business owners, how to build a company that investors want to buy before you ever think about selling, the single biggest pitch mistake entrepreneurs make, and why your calendar is the most honest scorecard of what you are actually committed to.Key Takeaways:There is more money sitting on the sidelines right now than Peter has seen in his entire career, across private equity, venture capital, and institutional markets. Eight to nine consecutive quarters of downturn. When the window opens, it will not be a flood overnight. But the companies that are prepared will move first.Do not get caught drinking the Kool Aid when the market opens. The 2021 IPO market was the best in 20 years, and two and a half years later it became the worst market in 30 years. The pendulum always swings. Fundamentals protect you when it does.Build your business as if you are preparing for an exit even if you have no exit planned. Tighter systems, controls, and governance increase enterprise value for every stakeholder whether you are selling tomorrow or in 10 years.Radical humility is the most underrated skill in entrepreneurship. Be honest about where your organization is weak. Write down the deficiencies. Then build solutions for each one. That is the entire framework.The biggest mistake in an investor pitch: 36 slides and 30 minutes and the entrepreneur never stopped talking. Talk less. Listen more. Find out what is important to the investor before you tell them what is important to you.Pitching investors is the same as selling. Discovery comes before presentation. Every time.Your calendar does not lie. Look at where you spent your time in the last four weeks and you will know exactly what you are truly committed to, not what you say you are committed to.You do not have to hit rock bottom to make radical changes. Self-awareness plus a real inventory of your time is enough to show you the gap between where you are and where you say you want to be.When you are down, go back to three things: purpose, self-care, and community. Not in a vague way. Purpose means getting clear on why you are doing what you are doing. Self-care means diet, sleep, and exercise. Community means people you trust who are already in your corner before things go wrong.Peter was hours from death, lost everything, and rebuilt. His lesson: you do not need to experience that to learn from it. Take the inventory before life forces it on you.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.Through peer mastermind and 1:1 coaching, we help you:increase profitinstall real systemsbuild a team that runs the businessget your time backVisit www.gatheringthekings.com for information on how to apply.Connect with Chaz Wolfe (Host):WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeVacation With Entrepreneurial FamiliesEntrepreneur families grow closer, dream bigger, & build legacy together.

Don't Niche Down. Gate Up. (Four Legends, One Founder's Fear, and the Move That Protects Your Cash)

Here's the knot almost every founder hits. Things are working. Money is coming in. And then everyone around you starts chanting the same advice. Niche down. It sounds smart. It feels terrifying. Because the second you try it, it feels like you're about to fire the people funding your life. So I ran the question through The Room. I convened a council session inside Invisible Council AI with cognitive models of four people who have actually built fortunes on this exact decision. Alex Hormozi. Dan Kennedy. Dan Sullivan. Frank Kern. They did not politely agree. They collided. And the collision is where the gold was. Hormozi separated the two decisions everyone blends together. Kennedy reframed a niche as a farm you can dominate, not a smaller crowd to starve in. Sullivan made the call that your current clients are evidence, not your identity. Kern added the filter that changes everything. Pick the client you could win for even if you only got paid after they succeeded. The Third Mind that emerged from all four was simple and sharp. You don't announce a divorce to find a better date. You build a revenue-safe front door for the proven buyer while the old book of business quietly funds the transition. Tighter front door. Same cash register. This one is for any founder sitting on revenue they're scared to risk and a focus they're scared to commit to. Listen all the way through. The open question at the end is the one that decides whether your niche becomes a farm or a trap. What You'll Learn The two separate decisions you're accidentally blending, and why that blend is the source of the fear. Why cash flow is not the thing you protect at all costs. It's the thing that buys you time to get smarter. How to choose your ideal client from evidence instead of preference, using the clients you already have. Why a niche is not a smaller audience. It's a market small enough to dominate and rich enough to matter. The difference between revenue and complexity wearing a fake mustache. How to reposition without sending a single client a dramatic "we've evolved beyond you" announcement. The 90-day narrowing test that turns a scary identity change into a measurable experiment. The exact first move you can run this week with your last 20 clients and a spreadsheet. Chapter Markers (Times are placeholders. Map to your final audio in your host.) 00:00 — The founder's fear: niche down without blowing up revenue 00:00 — Hormozi: the two decisions you keep blending 00:00 — Pick the niche the evidence is pointing at, not the one you like 00:00 — "Your strategy is what you say no to" 00:00 — Kennedy: a niche is a farm, not a smaller crowd 00:00 — The fantasy demographic test 00:00 — Third Mind: the Cash-Flow Airlock 00:00 — Sullivan: your clients are evidence, not your identity 00:00 — The 10x Client Test 00:00 — Third Mind: the Two-Bank Niche Test 00:00 — Kern: pick who you could win for if you got paid last 00:00 — Kennedy vs Kern: ease versus richness 00:00 — Third Mind: the Revenue-Safe Front Door 00:00 — The Council Brief and your first move 00:00 — The open question: farm or elegant trap Lines From The Room (Pulled from the live council session. These are the cognitive models speaking inside Invisible Council AI.) The Hormozi model, on the real lever: "Your strategy is what you say no to. Not what you put in the Google Doc." The Kennedy model, on choosing wrong: "If the answer is no, you don't have an ICP. You have a fantasy demographic." The Sullivan model, on the trap of revenue: "Complexity disguised as cash flow." The Kern model, on the filter that matters: "Don't choose the ICP you can sell. Choose the ICP you can almost guarantee results for." The Third Mind, on the whole move: "You don't announce a divorce to find a better date." The Frameworks Named In This Session The Cash-Flow Airlock — keep serving the messy back room while the new front door only admits the proven buyer inside a conquerable farm. The Two-Bank Niche Test — deposit into the future bank while making zero withdrawals from the current bank. The 10x Client Test — if I had ten times more clients like this one, would the business get simpler, more profitable, and more energizing, or collapse under complexity. The Revenue-Safe Front Door — test the narrow ICP in media the legacy herd doesn't even consume, while the back room keeps proving appreciation to the people paying now. Your Move This Week Take your last 20 clients. Put them in a spreadsheet. Score each one on: Did they get a measurable result How easy were they to sell How profitable were they to serve How easy were they to fulfill Did serving them drain you or energize you Would you take them if you only got paid after they succeeded Would you want ten times more just like them The overlap is your first farm. Then write one sentence. "I help [specific person or company] solve [specific expensive problem] so they can achieve [specific outcome] without [specific pain]." If it doesn't exclude people, it isn't finished. Then point your next 90 days of new marketing at that person only. Back room keeps getting served. Same cash register.

The disruption to flows through the Strait of Hormuz is rapidly reshaping the Asian jet fuel market at a critical juncture, just as seasonal demand accelerates ahead of the peak summer travel period. As one of the world's most important energy chokepoints, the Strait has long facilitated the movement of significant volumes of Middle Eastern jet fuel. The loss of these flows is now forcing market participants to reassess supply security, trade routes, and pricing dynamics across the region. In this episode of the Platts Oil Markets Podcast, Jonathan Nonis, associate editorial director, is joined by members of the global editorial team — Lee Shu Ling and Aruni Sunil — to examine how the disruption is translating into the physical market. They explore the extent to which supply dislocations are tightening regional balances, the adjustments in trade flows and inventory strategies, and the emergence of demand destruction. They also look at how key benchmarks — including FOB Arab Gulf and FOB Singapore jet fuel, as well as the East-West arbitrage — are responding to tighter supply conditions.

Jeff Kubiak sits down with Katie Hylton, Director of Business Support Services for San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools and newly elected CASBO president. Katie shares her unexpected journey from animal science major to school business leader — starting as a part-time attendance clerk and warehouse worker in Barstow, all the way to overseeing operations for a county office of education. The conversation explores how behind-the-scenes operational work directly impacts student learning, the importance of connecting business services staff to the "why" behind their work, and what it truly means to build radically student-centered learning environments. Takeaways The invisible work matters. Clean, safe, well-maintained facilities directly affect student focus, comfort, and academic success — even if no one notices when it's done right. Connect your team to the why. Katie makes it a priority to get operations staff out to school sites so they can see the students they're serving. Whether it's delivering adaptive equipment or volunteering at a reading rally, that human connection transforms how people show up for their work. Mentorship opens doors. A warehouse mentor who taught Katie to drive a forklift became the reason she landed her first full-time job. Find your people, ask questions, and build your network — especially through organizations like CASBO. Be creative with resources. Tighter budgets require forward thinking. COVID funding was an opportunity to invest in long-overdue infrastructure like touchless fixtures and keyless entry — small changes with lasting impact. Ask students what they need. Flexible furniture, natural light, wellness spaces, and collaborative areas aren't just trends — they reflect what students actually need to thrive. Including student voice in planning builds both better spaces and student pride. About Katie Hylton: Katie Hylton is a seasoned education business leader with over three decades of experience in K–12 operations, procurement, and facilities management. As Director of Business Support Services for the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, she oversees vital operational and fiscal functions supporting schools across the region. A longtime CASH and CASBO member, Katie is known for her collaborative leadership and passion for sharing knowledge as a presenter and speaker. A lifelong learner, she enjoys leadership programs that foster growth and reflect her dedication to strengthening educational communities.

Farmer sentiment declined in April—the pressure on the farm economy is intensifying. In this episode of the Purdue Commercial AgCast, Joana Colussi and Michael Langemeier break down the April 2026 Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer. Rising input costs, increasing concern about fertilizer availability, and global uncertainty tied to geopolitical conflict all contributed to a drop in sentiment. Tighter margins, rising break-even costs, and weaker financial expectations are beginning to influence how farmers approach investment, growth, and risk management heading into 2026. More importantly, these signals highlight how producers are shifting from cautious optimism to a more defensive posture. In this episode, we discuss: What's driving the recent decline in farmer sentiment How fertilizer prices and input availability are impacting decisions Why 2/3 of farmers expect lower income in 2026 What rising break-even prices mean for crop profitability Why farmers are pulling back on machinery and capital investments The widening gap between crop and livestock outlooks How tight margins are influencing cash flow and strategy What's shaping farmland value expectations Why confidence in the broader U.S. economy is slipping

Our Global Commodities Strategist Martijn Rats discusses how the Strait of Hormuz shutdown has created a deep air pocket that will likely keep markets tighter and prices higher for longer than many expect.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Martijn Rats, Morgan Stanley's Global Commodities Strategist. Today – an update on the global impact on the Strait of Hormuz shutdown.It's Tuesday, March 24th, at 3pm in London.More than three weeks into the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz disruptions, the numbers are striking. Normally, around 35 oil tankers leave the Gulf each day. Today, that number is closer to zero to two. That amounts to a shock. In fact, we estimate this event has disrupted roughly 20 percent of global oil supply – double the scale of the Suez crisis in the 1950s. Now, you might think: can't the system adapt? Can't oil just flow another way? At first, oil kept moving by being stored on ships already inside the Gulf. But that buffer is now full. Floating storage has surged in the area to over 120 million barrels, and new loadings have effectively stopped. Once storage is filled, producers have no choice but to cut output – and that's exactly what we're seeing. About 10 million barrels per day of upstream oil and gas production is now offline. Now once we reach this point, the Hormuz closure becomes a real supply loss. There are some partial workarounds. Pipelines that bypass the Strait. Strategic reserve releases. Possibly, naval escorts at some point to help ships move along. But unfortunately, none of these fully solve the problem. Even after accounting for all these offsets, the market still faces a shortfall of around 10 to 12 million barrels per day. Now, that is more than three times the supply shock markets feared in 2022, when Brent oil prices surged to around $130 a barrel. And beyond crude oil, the supply strain is showing up even more in refined products. Now, how so? By comparison, crude oil is still flexible. One barrel can sometimes be substituted with another. But refined products – like jet fuel or petrochemical feedstocks – are much more specific. They're harder to replace quickly. And we're already seeing acute shortages. Europe relies on imports for about 37 percent of its jet fuel needs, and those flows have now declined sharply. Middle East exports of naphtha, a key input for plastics and chemicals to destinations in Asia, have fallen from about 1.2 million barrels per day to almost zero. And in shipping hubs like Singapore, marine fuel prices have surged dramatically, with some fuels exceeding $250 per barrel. Once fuel shortages hit logistics, the disruption spreads beyond energy to affect the movement of goods across the economy. So where does this leave us? We envision two broad scenarios. First, a reopening. Even if the Strait reopens relatively quickly, say within one to two weeks, the system doesn't just snap back. There's what we call an air pocket in the system – a gap created by delayed shipments, empty inventories, and disrupted supply chains. In that case, oil prices are still likely to stay elevated throughout the second and third quarters, rather than quickly returning to pre-crisis levels which were about $70 per barrel at the time. A second scenario would be a prolonged closure. If the disruption continues, the market shifts from substitution to rationing. And rationing means demand has to fall. Historically, that only happens at much higher prices – typically in the range of $130 to $150 per barrel. Now given all this, we've revised our base case forecasts higher. We now expect Brent oil prices to average around $110 per barrel in the second quarter, easing only slightly to $90 in the third and $80 by the fourth quarter. But it's key to realize that reopening the Strait is not the same as repairing the system. This supply chain shock to the oil market will take time to unwind.Thanks for listening.

In this live episode recorded at the AHR Expo 2026 Podcast Pavilion in Las Vegas, host Bryan sits down with longtime friend and industry expert Nikki Krueger of Santa Fe and AprilAire. Nikki brings over 15 years of experience in indoor air quality and whole-home dehumidification to the conversation, having started her career with AprilAire before moving to Santa Fe (formerly Ultra Aire) — and now coming full circle as the two brands have integrated under the AprilAire umbrella as of January 1st of this year. The episode dives deep into a topic close to both hosts' hearts: how to properly manage indoor humidity, and what role a whole-home ventilating dehumidifier plays in a comprehensive HVAC system strategy. Bryan and Nikki lay out a holistic framework for tackling moisture problems, emphasizing that a dehumidifier should be the last tool added — not the first. Before reaching for dedicated dehumidification equipment, contractors need to assess the building envelope for air leaks, evaluate whether the air conditioning system is properly sized (oversizing is a major contributor to poor latent removal), confirm that the AC is set up with the right airflow and sensible heat ratio, and take into account the ventilation strategy and occupant behavior. The pair discuss real-world scenarios ranging from elderly residents in Florida who keep their thermostats at 80°F, to a project in Barbados where overcooling caused interstitial condensation in walls and ceilings. The message is clear: humidity control is a systems problem, not a single-product fix. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to proper installation practices for whole-home dehumidifiers. Nikki explains why Santa Fe recommends pulling from a dedicated return and discharging into the supply side of the AC duct — rather than tying into the return side — because the heat generated by dehumidification (roughly 1,054 BTUs per pint of water removed) can warm the AC evaporator coil and reduce its latent removal capacity. Bryan adds nuance around dew point management when routing outdoor air ducts, and both hosts agree that fan operation strategy (continuous low-speed vs. intermittent) matters more in tight, low-load homes where mixing is harder to achieve naturally. They also clarify a common misconception: a ventilating dehumidifier is not a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) and does not automatically condition incoming ventilation air before it enters the home. The conversation wraps up with an exciting look at Santa Fe's newly launched Ultra V Series, which features an upgraded 8-inch ventilation duct (up from 6 inches), a more powerful fan for handling higher static pressure in retrofit applications, a new digital control panel, and a wired remote humidity sensor that can be placed in the living space for more accurate readings. Nikki and Bryan also field audience questions on topics like short-cycling risks from oversized dehumidifiers and why Santa Fe chose a wired sensor over wireless (accuracy, reliability, and fewer callback headaches). Bryan closes by noting that rising dew points across most U.S. markets over the last 20 years make whole-home dehumidification more relevant than ever — and that any region where you can see green grass outside is a candidate for a more advanced moisture control strategy. Topics Covered Introduction to Nikki Krueger and the merger of Santa Fe and AprilAire under one brand The purpose of whole-home ventilating dehumidifiers and how they fit into an overall HVAC system strategy Latent vs. sensible heat loads explained — and why both matter for comfort and moisture control Geographic reach of humidity problems — why dehumidification isn't just a Florida or Gulf Coast issue Ken Gehring ("Teddy Bear"), inventor of the whole-house ventilating dehumidifier, and his framework for diagnosing moisture problems The four-factor checklist before deploying a dehumidifier: building envelope, AC sizing, AC setup/airflow, and ventilation strategy How occupant behavior (thermostat preferences, activity levels, large households) creates latent load variability The dangers of overcooling — how setting thermostat too low can cause interstitial condensation in walls, ceilings, and attics Sensible heat ratio (SHR) and its role in a system's ability to remove moisture — targeting ~350 CFM per ton in humid climates Why dehumidifiers should connect to a dedicated return and discharge into the supply — not tie into the AC return side How dehumidifier heat output (~1,054 BTUs per pint) can reduce AC coil efficiency when ducted incorrectly Fan-on strategy debate: when running continuous low-speed circulation helps vs. hurts humidity control Tighter homes, smaller systems, and the importance of air mixing strategies (including ceiling fans)  Ventilating dehumidifiers vs. dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) — clearing up a common misconception about how ventilation air is conditioned Dew point management for outdoor air ducts — preventing condensation inside duct runs Using dehumidifiers to address sweating ductwork in multi-story homes Rising dew points over the past 20 years and what "green grass climates" means for dehumidification demand Heat pump oversizing challenges in colder climates and the downstream impact on AC latent removal Santa Fe's new Ultra V Series: 8-inch ventilation duct, stronger fan, digital controls, and wired remote humidity sensor Why proper dehumidifier sizing matters: short-cycling risks, moisture reservoir release, and uneven RH throughout the home Why Santa Fe chose a wired humidity sensor — accuracy, reliability, and reducing contractor callbacks Audience Q&A: oversizing consequences, short-cycling mechanics, and sensor placement best practices   Learn more about Santa Fe Dehumidifiers at santafeproducts.com.  Connect with Nikki Krueger on LinkedIn or Instagram @nikkikruegerIAQ.
