105: The Global Energy Crisis

Blackrock
About this episode

Gas supplies from Russia have been significantly reduced due to the war in Ukraine. OPEC has announced oil production cuts and both Europe and the U.S. have stubbornly high inflation that central banks are trying to control. With winter fast approaching, what impact will that have on the economies globally and when will it ease? Gargi Chaudhuri, Head of iShares Investment Strategy and Alex Brazier, Deputy Head of BlackRock Investment Institute join host Oscar Pulido to figure it out.
