Webinar on-demand: Fear vs fundamentals - how to navigate tariffs and OPEC+

Energy Aspects' leading analysts break down how to make sense of global markets and what our expectations are for markets.


After a tumultuous weekend following the announcement of unprecedented US tariffs and steeper-than-expected Saudi OSP cuts for May, the global oil and broader markets are in a state of flux.


To make sense of the markets, we hosted an Oil Webinar yesterday for our subscribers, which we are pleased to make available for you to watch on-demand.


Watch the Founder and Director of Market Intelligence  Dr Amrita Sen, Head of Geopolitics  Richard Bronze, Head of Oil Demand  Koen Wessels and Head of Analytics Dr Nicky Ferguson  discuss:


  • The escalating tariff war: The impact of Trump’s tariffs, how global markets are responding and adjusting.
  • OPEC+ and crude prices: With OPEC's decision to increase oil production, downward pressure on crude will remain, and crude falling below $50/bbl in the near term is a possibility.
  • The US and global economic implications: With Fed Chair Jay Powell acknowledging last week the risk of persistent price pressures from tariffs and suggesting the Fed could take its time before cutting rates added to growth worries.
