Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to review the macroeconomic market movers he is watching and he outlines why he is still bullish but holding off on adding to positions in gold, silver, and copper stocks, but that he has been adding to positions in dividend-paying oil stocks and rare earth stocks. We start off looking at the financial macroeconomic factors coming back into focus this week and moving forward, now that some of the recent noise from geopolitics has faded back down. He is not convinced in that the tariff implications are behind us, but believes the market is largely shrugging off the pause coming off of the reciprocal tariffs, and that it is likely that many of them just get pushed off further into the distance. He believes the large upcoming tax and spending bill in the US is going to mean more debt and deficits, which is a negative longer-term, but that the tax cuts are seen as a market boon because they will allow citizens to hang onto more of their own money, and thus those excess funds will find their way into the stocks markets. Sean notes the continued weakness we've in the US long bond, US dollar, and business guidance through year end. We discussed the fact that the gold price had surged higher in April, well before the geopolitical conflict even began between Iran and Israel, so there wasn't really any war premium to come out of the PMs, despite those recent narratives being spun. Sean noted that after seeing gold channeling sideways the last couple of months at historically very high levels, that it needed to rest. In a similar sense, after Silver broke up through long-term $35 resistance, and got up to hit $37 briefly, that it made sense for it to pull back down and retest the area of the breakout, and that this is healthy overall. With regards to the precious metals equities, Sean is mostly holding onto the names that he and his subscribers have purchased over the last few months, but did sell his Equinox Gold Corp.(TSX: EQX) (NYSE American: EQX) position a few weeks back to free up some funds to be able to rotate down into more gold developers and silver stocks once he believes this current pullback has bottomed. Next we shifted over to the steadily climbing copper price, noting that we've actually seen some life in the copper junior stocks, where (COPJ) has been outperforming (COPX) or (ICOP). While he agreed this move higher in copper and the copper equities has been positive, and based on strong fundamental drivers, he's not that animated by investing in the copper juniors, and hasn't traditionally fared well in them. Wrapping up, Sean did mention that he has been animated accumulating the better run intermediate oil stocks that pay good dividends even at current WTI oil prices, and specifically mentioned Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (NYSE: GRNT) as an example of the type of oil stock that has his attention. We also discussed why he is bullish on rare earth stocks that have exposure to downstream processing and separation, and he highlighted why he likes MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP).

Today we had the very exciting and interesting opportunity to visit with Jim Grech, President and CEO of Peabody. Jim was appointed as CEO in June 2021 and brings more than 30 years of experience across the coal and natural resources space. His career includes leadership roles as CEO of Wolverine Fuels, President of Nexus Gas Transmission, EVP and CCO of CONSOL Energy, and Vice President of DTE Energy. Peabody, founded in 1883, is one of the leading coal producers in the U.S., operating 17 surface and underground mines across the U.S. and Australia. We were thrilled to hear Jim's perspective on the evolving role of coal in both the U.S. and global energy markets. In our conversation, Jim shares background on his decision to join Peabody during a period of financial and market uncertainty and outlines the company's progress in recent years, including repayment of $1.5B in secured debt, reinstatement of a dividend and stock buyback program, and reinvestment in U.S. and Australian assets. We discuss how to motivate a coal workforce amid global anti-coal sentiment, Peabody's asset footprint, the strategic importance of the Powder River Basin (PRB) and the untapped potential to export PRB coal to Asia, the advantages of U.S. coal relative to coal in other parts of the world, and the vast abundance of U.S. coal, with U.S. coal reserves containing more energy than any other nation holds in any single energy resource. We explore the distinctions between thermal and metallurgical coal, global coal demand and outlook, the longevity of coal infrastructure with new plants expected to operate for 30-50 years, the improved environmental footprint of modern coal plants and outdated misconceptions, coal's role in poverty reduction and economic growth in developing nations, and the push to codify U.S. regulatory changes into legislation for permanence beyond changing administrations. Jim shares his perspective on coal's role in grid stability and delivering lower, more stable electricity prices, state-level legislative trends supporting reliability requirements for coal plants, the current status and underutilization of the U.S. coal fleet, and renewed interest from industrial users and datacenters seeking long-term, dependable power sources. We examine investor trends including the emerging investor focus on international coal markets, international market dynamics and growth opportunities across metallurgical and thermal coal, and much more. We close by asking Jim for his top takeaway, and he highlights the importance of being open-minded about coal's net benefits, particularly regarding its role in global energy access, industrial development, and improving standards of living. It was our pleasure to host Jim and we greatly enjoyed the discussion. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by noting that bond, commodity and equity markets have largely roundtripped to their June 12th closing levels (prior to the Israeli strike on Iran). From a bond market perspective, the 10-year bond yield (~4.3%) has essentially roundtripped and traders are now focused on upcoming economic data. In crude markets, WTI spiked to a high of ~$78.50/bbl on Monday following the U.S. strike over the weekend of Iranian nuclear sites, but has since pulled back to ~$65/bbl amid reports of a “proposed” Iranian/Israeli ceasefire, which is ~$3/bbl lower than June 12th price levels and ~$5/bbl above June trading lows. From an Energy equity standpoint, Energy has also roundtripped and is now trading modestly below (~2%) June 12th levels as energy investors begin refocusing their attention on the 2H'25/1H'26 global oil surplus. From a broader market standpoint, the S&P 500 is now ~0.5% higher than June 12th levels and within 1% of all-time highs. Broader markets are now in the process of transitioning away from Mideast conflict back towards U.S. domestic policy. Mike concluded by noting that investors are beginning to refocus on the odds of Trump'
Am Dienstagmorgen notierten die Aktienfutures deutlich im Plus, während die Ölpreise stark fielen. Anleger setzen darauf, dass der fragil wirkende Waffenstillstand zwischen Israel und dem Iran Bestand haben könnte. Die Futures auf den Dow Jones Industrial Average stiegen um 284 Punkte beziehungsweise 0,6 Prozent, der S&P 500 legte um 0,7 Prozent zu, und die Nasdaq-100-Futures gewannen 1,1 Prozent. Gleichzeitig gaben die Ölpreise den zweiten Tag in Folge kräftig nach. Sowohl US-Rohöl (WTI) als auch Brent-Rohöl fielen um mehr als vier Prozent, nachdem sie am Vortag noch zwischenzeitlich den höchsten Stand seit Januar erreicht hatten. In der Spitze hatte der US-Ölpreis am Montag über sieben Prozent verloren. Für Entspannung sorgte eine Reihe öffentlicher Äußerungen von Donald Trump. Bereits in der Nacht auf Dienstag schrieb er auf der Plattform Truth Social: „Der Waffenstillstand ist jetzt in Kraft. Bitte verletzen Sie ihn nicht!“ Später bekräftigte er, dass Israel den Iran nicht angreifen werde, und erklärte: „Alle Flugzeuge werden umkehren und gleichzeitig dem Iran freundlich zuwinken. Niemand wird verletzt, der Waffenstillstand ist in Kraft.“ Händler von JPMorgan erklärten, dass sich die Märkte nach Abklingen des geopolitischen Risikos wieder auf fundamentale Themen wie Konjunkturdaten, Unternehmensgewinne und das Auslaufen des Zollmoratoriums konzentrieren. Zwar bleibt die Lage angespannt – Israel wirft dem Iran vor, den Waffenstillstand verletzt zu haben, während Teheran erklärt, man halte weiterhin „die Hand am Abzug“. Auch Trump räumte ein, dass beide Seiten bereits gegen die Vereinbarung verstoßen hätten. Die Kursgewinne bei den Futures geben der Wall Street die Möglichkeit, die positive Tendenz vom Montag fortzusetzen. Bereits zum Wochenauftakt hatten die Märkte Rückenwind durch die Meldung erhalten, dass Katars Luftabwehr einen iranischen Vergeltungsschlag auf einen US-Militärstützpunkt abgefangen habe. Unterstützt wurde die Stimmung zudem durch den Rückgang der Ölpreise, nachdem WTI über Nacht ein neues Jahreshoch markiert hatte, dann aber stark fiel. Am Dienstag richtet sich der Blick der Anleger auch auf US-Notenbankchef Jerome Powell. Er wird vor dem Finanzausschuss des Repräsentantenhauses den halbjährlichen geldpolitischen Bericht der Fed vorstellen. Am Mittwoch folgt eine Anhörung vor dem Bankenausschuss des Senats. Powells Auftritt kommt zu einem sensiblen Zeitpunkt: Er steht unter politischem Druck, die Zinsen zu senken, und zuletzt äußerten sich zwei Fed-Mitglieder dahingehend, dass eine Lockerung bereits im Juli denkbar wäre.

In this KE Report daily editorial, I'm joined by Darrell Fletcher, Managing Director of Commodities at Bannockburn Capital Markets, who provides a trading desk perspective on the latest price action, positioning, and macro signals across the energy, copper, and precious metals markets. - Energy volatility dominates June - from geopolitical spikes to bearish fundamentals. - Copper holds firm above $4 with physical market dislocations and tariff pricing. - Gold consolidates near record highs as silver plays catch-up. Key Discussion Highlights: Energy Markets: Oil spiked on Middle East tensions but quickly reversed on news of a ceasefire. Darrell highlights that despite short-term risk premiums, the WTI forward curve remains anchored around $62, reflecting ongoing bearish fundamentals like rising global inventories and weakening demand. US rig counts are at multi-year lows, but no supply shock is expected yet. Natural Gas: A short-lived surge on heatwave-driven demand brought prices above $4, but markets have now converged back toward $3.50. Darrell notes a balanced setup, supported by increasing LNG flows and long-term support from Calendar 2026 pricing around $4.40. Copper: The metal continues to trade strongly just below $5/lb. Physical flows into COMEX are pushing spreads higher, with LME inventories falling and tariff expectations leading to a 10-15% price premium. Large copper miners like Freeport and BHP are rebounding, but still lag copper's year-to-date performance. Precious Metals: Gold is flat for the month but remains near record highs, while silver is up 7% in June and closing the performance gap. Darrell maintains a bullish view on gold due to debt concerns, a weakening USD, and potential Fed rate cuts. Silver, while less of a pure monetary asset, shows strong industrial demand and momentum. US Dollar & Macro Impact: A falling USD (down ~10% YTD) is generally supportive of commodities, but Darrell points out the correlation is looser than in the past. He sees continued pressure on the greenback from fiscal concerns and rate cut expectations.
US equity futures are firmer with S&P up 0.3%, bond yields firmer, US 10-year treasury up 2 bps at 4.4%. Dollar firmer versus yen and Aussie, softer versus euro and sterling. Gold softer despite Middle East tensions. WTI crude adds to recent gains, around 0.5% higher. Industrial metals mixed. Crude oil and dollar index pared gains in Asia Monday after US strikes on Iran while gold defying bullish expectations on the back of haven demand. Risk aversion briefly took Bitcoin below $100K for the first time since May amid broad-based weakness in crypto. Press noted equity price action so far indicating a sanguine outlook. Most Gulf stock markets were steady while Israel TA-125 index was at a record highCompanies Mentioned: Bank of New York Mellon, Northern Trust, Shift4 Payments, SmartPay Holdings

Today we're excited to welcome Patrick White, Group Lead for Fusion Energy Safety and Regulation at the Clean Air Task Force (CATF), and Nicholas McMurray, Managing Director of International and Nuclear Policy at ClearPath. Patrick recently joined CATF and leads the organization's international working group focused on fusion energy safety, waste, and non-proliferation. He holds a Ph.D. in Nuclear Science and Engineering from MIT and previously served as Research Director at the Nuclear Innovation Alliance. Niko is an expert in industrial policy, nuclear energy policy, and regulation. He has been with ClearPath since 2019 and formerly served as a Materials Engineer at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). A few weeks ago, Veriten partnered with CATF and ClearPath to publish a paper calling out reforms to NRC processes and procedures to accelerate the deployment of new nuclear reactors; establishing a more efficient regulatory framework for new and advanced reactors (paper linked here). We were thrilled to host Patrick and Niko for a discussion on the paper and broader trends in the nuclear landscape. Brett Rampal, Senior Director of Nuclear and Power Strategy at Veriten, joined for the conversation and led Veriten's contribution to the paper. In our discussion, Patrick and Niko share background on their organizations' missions and long-standing support for nuclear. We explore the need to demystify and modernize NRC processes to accommodate next-generation nuclear technologies, challenges with current regulatory frameworks originally designed for traditional large light-water reactors, the role of licensing structures and the value of more flexible licensing pathways, and the motivation behind their recent paper, which aims to provide actionable, bipartisan policy suggestions to enable nuclear deployment at scale. We examine the historical development and regulatory evolution of power versus non-power reactor definitions, how those distinctions have blurred over time, the shift toward performance-based regulation, and the commercial implications of licensing small reactors under Class 103. We discuss the importance of consistent terminology and regulatory clarity in advancing new nuclear technologies, whether the NRC's internal culture can evolve to support faster deployment without compromising safety, the NRC's broader oversight role beyond reactors including medical and industrial applications of radioactive materials, and congressional support for NRC modernization. Patrick and Niko provide insights into international regulatory approaches, such as performance-based models used in the UK, France, and Canada, the critical need to earn public trust through rigorous and efficient safety regulation, the feasibility of President Trump's goal of having 10 new reactors under construction by 2030, challenges beyond regulation, and much more. We greatly enjoyed the conversation. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that the S&P 500 closed modestly lower on the day, while crude oil prices caught a bid amid escalating tensions in the Mideast. On the bond front, the 10-year bond yield (~4.4%) has pulled back over the last few days as markets await the outcome of the June 18th FOMC rate decision meeting. Consensus is for no change in interest rates at this FOMC meeting, but a cut is expected at the September meeting. From a crude oil market standpoint, WTI price has spiked by >$10/bbl to ~$74/bbl over the last five trading days due to the Iranian-Israeli military conflict. While Veriten isn't in the business of making short-term crude oil price calls based on supply disruption threats, we continue to emphasize that global oil demand growth projections are a more vital determinant for intermediate-term oil prices. On the global S/D front, the IEA recently modeled global oil demand peaking in 2029 (China in 2027), contra

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Eugenio Garibay desglosan la compleja coyuntura global tras cuatro días de guerra entre Israel e Irán, un conflicto que ya ha dejado cientos de muertos, incluyendo líderes militares y científicos nucleares iraníes. Los ataques mutuos han disparado el precio del petróleo a $72 el barril WTI, generando alerta en los mercados ante el riesgo de una crisis energética global. La conversación también aborda las implicaciones geopolíticas de las amenazas iraníes contra bases estadounidenses y la negativa de Trump a intervenir directamente, mientras Israel presiona por apoyo militar.El análisis se expande a los eventos clave de la semana: la cumbre del G7 en Canadá, donde líderes buscarán coordinar respuestas a la inestabilidad en Medio Oriente y sus efectos económicos; la reunión de la FED, que definirá tasas de interés bajo presión inflacionaria por el alza del crudo; y la polémica adquisición de US Steel por Nippon Steel, aprobada por Trump con cláusulas que garantizan influencia estatal. Un episodio esencial para entender cómo guerras, decisiones políticas y movimientos financieros moldean el panorama internacional.
MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Prices surged, then quickly gave up gains as escalating tensions between Iran and Israel rattled a region responsible for a third of the world’s crude. But behind the short-term volatility lies a deeper shift in the global energy landscape—one that could redefine the future of oil demand.While Brent and WTI recently notched their strongest weeks of the year earlier this month, some analysts warn that the momentum may be fleeting, with prices potentially dipping into the $40s. At the same time, the global center of energy demand is beginning to tilt—from China to a rapidly rising India.As the world’s fastest-growing oil and gas market steps into the spotlight, key questions emerge: Can India sustain this growth? What does this mean for global supply, prices, and geopolitics? And how will the evolving role of natural gas fit into this new equation?On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Lin Ye, Vice President, Commodities Markets – Oil at Rystad Energy, to find out more.

Il Vix, indice della volatilità, cresce del 21%. Gli investitori temono che il conflitto possa compromettere le forniture di greggio, soprattutto se l’Iran dovesse minacciare lo Stretto di Hormuz. Al momento, nessun danno diretto agli impianti petroliferi, ma il rischio geopolitico resta alto. Affrontiamo il tema con Sissi Bellomo, Sole 24 Ore e Filippo Diodovich, Market strategist di IG.Iran e Israele. Cosa sta succedendo?Nella notte tra il 12 e il 13 giugno 2025 Israele ha lanciato l’operazione Rising Lion, colpendo obiettivi strategici in Iran, tra cui il sito nucleare di Natanz. L’azione ha coinvolto caccia, droni e forze speciali sul campo, con l’obiettivo dichiarato di fermare il programma nucleare iraniano. Almeno 78 le vittime, tra cui alti ufficiali dei Pasdaran e scienziati. Teheran ha reagito lanciando oltre 100 droni e missili contro Israele, la maggior parte dei quali è stata intercettata. Dichiarato lo stato d’emergenza in Israele, chiuso lo spazio aereo, mentre l’Iran ha chiesto una condanna formale all’ONU parlando di “atto di guerra”. Sergio Nava, Radio24.

In this episode of Trading Corner, James and Manny unpack an unusually balanced crude market, where everything should be moving - but isn't. With WTI defying fundamentals, Brent spreads losing steam, and products drifting post-rally, they dig into: Why front-end WTI time spreads are surging above $1What Brent-Dubai convergence says about physical flowsWhy the data window and physical diffs are underwhelming despite peak margin seasonThe resilience of fuel oil cracks and the tightness still priced inA cooling margin environment and what that means for product hedgesTrading strategies for a sideways market: short July/Aug Dated and exit half of Dec ‘26 gasoline longs Glossary terms featured this week: MurbanA light, sweet crude oil produced in Abu Dhabi, known for its high quality and used widely in Asia; a benchmark in the ICE Futures Abu Dhabi market. RallyA period of sustained increase in price action.MarginsThe difference between the prices of refined products and crude inputs, weighted by yield, which represents the refinery's profit (excluding transport and power).DFLDated-to-Frontline. A monthly contract that measures the premium of physical North Sea crude (Dated Brent) to Brent swaps.Time SpreadA time spread, or ‘calendar spread', in oil derivatives, is a strategy where a trader simultaneously buys and sells two futures or options contracts for the same oil quantity but with different expiration dates. This strategy aims to profit from the change in the price difference, or spread, between these two contracts over time.WTIWTI is a light, sweet crude oil that is produced in the United States. It is the main benchmark for US crude oil.CrackDifferential between a barrel of product and barrel of crude. DiffsDifferentials or "diffs" are contracts priced against one another.FlyA calendar spread strategy involving three consecutive contract months.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting our good friend Dr. Ken Medlock, Fellow in Energy and Resource Economics and Senior Director of the Center for Energy Studies at Rice University's Baker Institute. Ken joined the Rice University faculty in 2004 and holds adjunct professor appointments in the Department of Economics and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, in addition to serving as director of the Master of Energy Economics program. He is also a Distinguished Fellow at the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan, and a sought-after voice on Capitol Hill, at OPEC, and in the media. The Baker Institute plays a key role in shaping energy policy debates in both the U.S. and globally and we were thrilled to welcome Ken to hear his latest insights on today's evolving energy landscape. In our discussion, we explore oil market dynamics and pricing, Middle East geopolitical complexity, Kuwait's production expansion plans, U.S. policy, including how recent grant eliminations impact the economics of carbon capture projects, as well as the importance of distinguishing short-term volatility from long-term energy strategy. We review the current state of carbon capture technology, with high costs remaining a significant barrier, the potential long-term opportunity to convert captured CO2 into valuable products, the potential impact of rolling back EPA emission rules on future generation mix, and how strong electricity demand growth will require all types of generation to meet future needs. Ken shares his perspective on the importance and challenges of coordination across U.S. energy agencies, the critical importance of supply chain resilience, how geopolitical risk premiums shape oil markets, and potential market impact if Iran advances its nuclear capabilities. We cover potential disruptions to energy flow through the Strait of Hormuz, the roles of the U.S. and Israel in Middle East tensions, OPEC+'s decision to accelerate production, low global inventories, and the Baker Institute's growth and expansion across ten programs. We also touch on the interconnectedness of energy and other sectors, the need to re-educate on supply chain dynamics, the intersection of energy infrastructure and disaster preparedness, evolving student interest in energy at Rice, and much more. It was a fantastic and wide-ranging conversation spanning many critical aspects of energy today. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting that the S&P 500 has rallied back to within 2% of its all-time high, while the S&P 500 Volatility (VIX) is hovering near YTD lows, which is a dangerous combination. U.S. equity markets appear to be largely driven by the ups/downs of Trump's “Big Beautiful Budget Bill” and tariff negotiations. On the bond side, the U.S. 10-year bond yield (4.45%) has traded sideways so far this week, but that could shift quickly given that several key economic reports are on deck this week, which also could go a long way in determining what the FED does at their June 18th FOMC Rate Decision Meeting. From a crude oil market standpoint, WTI price has recently surged to ~$65/bbl which has caught oil traders by surprise. The front-end of the WTI curve is trading in backwardation, while the back end of the curve is in contango, mostly due to a substantial global S/D surplus that's expected beginning in Q4'25. Last week, OPEC+ agreed to raise July production by ~0.4mmbpd (total 3mo production increase of ~1.2mmbpd), but these “stated” production increases are much higher than “actual” barrels that have entered the market, which is beginning to raise questions around OPEC's “real” spare production capacity. He further noted that Canadian wildfires, Iran nuclear deal delays, and the plunge in U.S. oil rig count (~40 rigs) over the last two months have all combined to move WTI price higher. He ended by highlighting that the EIA released its Short-Term Energy Outlook report this week, which forecasted that U.S. cru

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to outline why he is holding onto the bullish trends in gold and silver stocks, and adding to positions in international stocks, counter-drone defense stocks, and dividend-paying oil stocks. With the precious metals equities, Sean is mostly holding onto the names that he and his subscribers have purchased over the last few months, but has rotated some funds down into more gold developers and the silver stocks; looking for those areas to outperform. When looking at the macroeconomic factors and geopolitics, he is not convinced in that the tariff implications are behind us, and is still seeing continued weakness in the US long bond, US dollar, and business guidance through year end. Sean notes that there are still a lot of foreign market participants still scaling out of US markets to repatriate funds into their own domestic stock markets, and he is still finding pockets of value in international stocks. For example, he has been bullish European defense stocks for a while, but then domestically he's been positioning in counter-drone defense stocks. Wrapping up we discuss that he is getting more interested in accumulating the better run intermediated oil stocks that pay good dividends, can make money at the current lower price range for WTI oil, and that are trading down near book value.

Global oil inventories are visibly increasing, yet prices have remained surprisingly stable, with market opinion divided on whether current oil prices are too low or too high. We anticipate prices to stay within current ranges before easing into the high $50s by year-end. The global oil surplus has widened to 2.2 mbd, likely necessitating a price adjustment to prompt a supply-side response and restore balance. Yet, despite supply pressures, three strong market forces are providing a firm floor in the $55-60 Brent ($50-55 WTI) range. Following the July hike, most OPEC members, excluding Saudi Arabia, appear to be producing at or near maximum capacity. The US administration may begin repurchasing oil for the SPR as early as August. Meanwhile, US shale wellhead breakeven prices, assuming zero return, are estimated at around $47 WTI.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Michael Mische, Associate Professor of Management at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business. Michael joined the USC faculty in 1997 and also serves as CEO and a Managing Member of the Synergy Consulting Group. At Marshall, he leads and coordinates the school's undergraduate and graduate curricula in management consulting. Our interest in connecting with Michael was sparked by his recent report, “A Study of California Gasoline Prices” (linked here). The study presents a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of the persistently high retail gasoline prices in California. We were thrilled to explore the findings of the report and hear Michael's broader perspective on California's energy and power landscape. In our discussion, we cover the main themes of Michael's report, beginning with his long-standing interest in the oil and gas industry dating back to the 1973 Arab oil embargo. We explore the study's key finding that there is no evidence of price manipulation or gouging by refiners, and Michael's conclusion that California's high gasoline prices are a direct result of deliberate policy choices. Michael explains why policymakers pursue these strategies, why Californians tolerate higher energy costs, and how these policies create economic strain for lower income residents. We cover the broader economic impact of California energy policies, including the departure of more than 360 major companies since 2018, the national security risks posed by refinery closures that supply a significant share of aviation fuel and diesel to military operations in California, Arizona, and Nevada, how the push for renewable energy has become a primary driver of rising energy costs, and the underlying economics of the refining industry. We discuss the broader effects of refinery shutdowns on infrastructure like roads and airports, California's increasing dependence on foreign oil, the potential for in-state production growth, proposed policy solutions, the risks of state-run refinery models, how Middle Eastern investors are increasingly targeting U.S. real assets and innovation sectors, and more. We greatly appreciate Michael joining and sharing his expertise and insights with us all. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that broader U.S. equities surged ~2.0% on Tuesday, largely driven by news that President Trump would be extending the deadline on EU tariff increases from June 1 to July 9. Equity markets also rose due to the unexpectedly high m/m increase in May Consumer Confidence. On the bond market front, 10-year and 30-year U.S. bond yields traded lower by 8-10bps, mostly due to a plunge in Japanese bond yields despite optimistic news on the EU tariff front and Consumer Confidence. In commodities, WTI price pulled back ~$1/bbl (~$61/bbl) on growing concern that OPEC+ will raise July oil production by another ~0.4mmbpd. Iranian nuclear talks underway in Rome have sparked cautious optimism for a breakthrough, which might prove to be another “marginal” headwind for crude prices. On the U.S. policy front, Mike highlighted last week's passage of a House Tax Bill which surprisingly gutted renewable/solar subsidies and sent solar equities plunging. Passage through the Senate isn't guaranteed and could potentially extend/reverse the timeline on some of the solar subsidies. On the electricity front, it was a great week for nuclear and SMR equities (handful of SMR equities up ~40%) following four nuclear-focused Executive Orders from the Trump Administration. He also pointed out the recent eye-popping MISO Summer Capacity Auction (~$666/mw) versus last year's auction price (~$30/mw) which will lead to much higher utility bills. He closed by highlighting California's current refinery capacity of ~1.6mmbpd and how the two most recent refinery closure announcements (tota

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Francesco Sassi for a wide-ranging discussion on global energy and geopolitics. Francesco is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oslo and previously served as a Research Fellow in energy geopolitics and markets at Ricerche Industriali ed Energetiche (RIE). Francesco holds a Ph.D. in Political Science – Geopolitics from the University of Pisa, where he focused his research on the Sino-Russian gas interdependence. We were drawn to his straightforward analysis, insightful commentary, and use of maps to bring complex dynamics to life. We were thrilled to visit with Francesco and learn from his perspective. In our conversation, we explore the rise of political risk in energy markets and the growing global interdependence of the energy system, driven by factors such as China's increasing influence in shaping energy geopolitics, new interdependencies created by energy technology, trade and manufacturing, as well as disruptions like COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. We examine Russian gas volumes to Europe, Spain's leadership in clean energy and the implications of its recent blackout, and the dual forces shaping Europe: rising cross-border interconnectivity projects alongside increasing energy nationalism. We touch on President Trump's recent visit to the Middle East, which is part of broader interest in energy and AI investment in the region, OPEC+ strategy, market share pressures, and the impact of low oil prices on Russia. Francesco shares his perspective on the potential for a Putin-Zelensky meeting, tensions between India and Pakistan, and how energy policy is becoming increasingly central to electoral platforms in Europe. We turn to Argentina's recent progress under President Milei, Israeli investment in lithium extraction technology in Argentina's lithium triangle, and how energy and mineral resources are increasingly being used as tools of foreign policy and geopolitical leverage. We close with Francisco's thoughts on the growing power of energy as a force shaping international relations and global industrial strategy. It was a dynamic and insightful conversation. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that broader markets rallied substantially on Monday following news that China and the U.S. have agreed to a “tentative” tariff deal. Broader equity markets (S&P 500) have completely retraced their losses since Trump's April 2nd Day of Liberation and are now up slightly (+4%). Meanwhile, the S&P Volatility Index has plunged from its April 8th tariff volatility highs and is now trading near YTD lows, something to be monitored closely as any surprise event could send broader markets lower. On the bond market front, the 10yr bond yield is trading sideways even though April CPI came in lower than expected. PPI will be released on Wednesday and if it too prints lower than expected, it could provide room for the Fed to begin cutting rates at their June 18th FOMC meeting. On the crude oil front, WTI price has rebounded nicely over the past week and now trades at ~$63/bbl. Oil traders remain focused on future OPEC+ production increases and increasingly on whether U.S. E&Ps will begin altering their 2025 capex plans at these lower prices levels. He wrapped up with a look at key events this week, notably NRG Energy's acquisition of LS Power's portfolio of natural gas generation assets (~13gw for ~$12 billion). The move follows Constellation Energy's mid-January deal to acquire Calpine Corp. and demonstrates that both companies are positioning themselves for an acceleration in electricity growth this decade. Many thanks to Francesco for sharing his time and insights with us today. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did! Our best to you all.
