Oil Jumps as Mideast Tensions Reshape Energy Markets

from Energy Economics with Fexingo: Oil Prices, Renewables, and the Cost of Power · host Fexingo

WTI crude oil surged 8% in five days to $74 a barrel as U.S. airstrikes against Iran stoked supply fears. Lucas and Luna examine why oil is spiking while clean energy stocks like Enphase and First Solar keep falling, down 12% and 3.5% respectively this week. They dig into the geopolitical risk premium, the disconnect between fossil fuels and renewables, and what it means for energy investors. Plus, a quick look at how the energy transition is playing out amid the turmoil. #OilPrices #CrudeOil #WTI #Brent #MideastTensions #GeopoliticalRisk #CleanEnergy #Enphase #FirstSolar #SolarStocks #Renewables #EnergyMarkets #XLE #XOP #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #EnergyEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
