In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner discuss these issues, highlighting the potential long-term impact on the oil and gas industry. The oil market has been highly volatile, with prices fluctuating between $55 and $62 per barrel, driven by President Trump's tariffs and global trade tensions. The uncertainty is fueled by concerns over a potential recession, with lowered future demand projections from OPEC and other industry forecasts. The tariffs aim to right-size trade and encourage negotiations, particularly with China, while countries like India and the EU are increasingly aligning with the U.S. as they move away from China's influence. Amidst this turmoil, oil companies must adapt to price swings, ensuring their investments are resilient.
