About this episode
In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner covers critical developments impacting global oil markets. Iran's missile strike on a U.S. base, its potential response to the U.S.'s military actions, and the threat of closing the Strait of Hormuz remain key issues. Despite fears, oil prices have remained stable as the market absorbs these geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the shift in bank investments towards fossil fuels, coupled with the turmoil in China's EV market, presents further challenges for global energy security. The episode also explores the impact of recent Israeli actions on regional energy infrastructure and how these events may shape future oil flows.
