Episode Details

Energy economist Anas Alhajji breaks down the Iran war's impact on global oil markets, Hormuz shipping risks, and diesel shortages driving inflation. He exposes demand destruction, SPR manipulation myths, and why LNG dominates the energy security chessboard. Alhajji reveals how sanctions, trade wars, and AI data centers are reshaping macro policy, commodity prices, and dollar hegemony. From Saudi export bottlenecks to European deindustrialization, this deep dive connects crude volatility to monetary policy, Bitcoin macro, and the national security case for natural gas.
