Episode Details

We present a Special Episode of SmarterMarkets™, bringing you exclusive interviews from S&P Global’s CERAWeek 2026.

SmarterMarkets™ was in Houston last week for CERAWeek to partner with S&P Global. We sat down with participants at the energy industry's most influential annual conference. The theme for this year's conference was Convergence and Competition: Energy, Technology, and Geopolitics – and the implications of the conflict in Iran were on everyone's mind.
