About this episode
In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, host Stuart Turley interviews Wasif Latif, president of Sarmaya Partners, to discuss the global impact of President Trump’s tariffs, the return to tangible assets like commodities, and the challenges and opportunities in reindustrializing the U.S. economy. They explore historical parallels to the 1970s, the role of energy, gold, and copper in today's markets, and why long-term investing in tangible assets is critical amid rising inflation and supply chain shifts. Wasif also shares insights on navigating today's volatile markets and where future growth lies. Thank you, Wasif, for your time and leadership in the investment markets.
