This week I spoke with Sam Rines, Managing Director of Corbu Research and author of After Normal: Making Sense of the Global Economy. We discussed the oil and energy markets and the US economy, inflation, the Fed, and geopolitical tensions… In this edition, you’ll hear Sam Rines and me discuss: - Why the long-term outlook for oil and natural gas is very bullish… - How Qatari LNG could offset a significant amount of Russian energy dependence… - Why Russia halting natural gas exports to Europe likely won’t have the catastrophic effects the media fears…… - What Fed actions could mean for emerging market economies… - Why we could feel the ripple effects of COVID for the next 5-10 years… Samuel Rines’ new book, After Normal: Making Sense of the Global Economy, is available for purchase here: https://www.amazon.com/After-Normal-Making-Global-Economy/dp/1974166198. —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Video Time Stamps 00:00 - Introduction 01:17 - Why energy is the big topic of the day 01:39 - Why general sentiment is long energy 02:19 - Why energy prices are declining now 02:44 - How to get energy to the right place at the right time 03:24 - The Nord Stream pipeline 03:39 - European dependence on Russian gas 04:03 - Alternate sources of natural gas 04:50 - Why Europe’s crisis might not be as dire as some think 05:14 - European industry is beginning to understand what needs to be done 05:49 - What will happen to European industry 06:11 - Why global energy disturbances won’t have a devastating impact 07:00 - How interruptions to energy markets are already “priced in” 07:31 - How OPEC and the Middle East factor in 07:53 - The importance of Qatari LNG 08:43 - Why current energy prices don’t matter 09:26 - OPEC’s shot across the bow 09:41 - Short-term bearish, long-term bullish for energy 10:31 - The ideal time to create an energy-centric portfolio 11:33 - Interpreting new US economic data 12:03 - Negative GDP growth and surging employment 12:45 - The current recessionary dynamics 13:17 - The long-term effects of COVID 14:07 - The return to normal 14:30 - Inflation returning to normal 15:24 - The price of oil 16:02 - The Fed’s next steps 16:28 - The surprising effect on emerging markets 17:13 - The geopolitical story the media is missing 18:02 - The corner China is backed into 19:04 - India’s role as power broker Want a transcript of this video?
