In the latest episode of Beckonomics, Victor and Hunter take a deep dive into the ever-changing landscape of oil and natural gas. With oil prices falling 17% year-to-date while natural gas prices are on the rise, the duo unpacks what’s really driving these opposing trends.

They explore key factors influencing oil markets, including production strategies from the Trump administration, OPEC’s ongoing cuts, and broader global economic uncertainty. The conversation highlights challenges for U.S. oil producers, especially in the Permian Basin, and examines Saudi Arabia’s strategic role in shaping international oil supply.

The discussion then shifts to natural gas and its growing role in the global energy mix. Victor and Hunter discuss the U.S.’s potential as a major exporter—particularly to Europe—and the logistical hurdles of liquefying and transporting natural gas on a global scale.

Beyond the energy sector, they connect the dots to broader economic impacts, including how shifting prices affect inflation, consumer spending, and trade. With clear, insightful commentary across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors, this episode offers a well-rounded look at today’s energy markets.

Whether you're an energy expert or just curious, this episode will leave you with a better understanding of what’s fueling the global economy.
