Why Oil Is Rising Amid Middle East Strikes

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

Lucas and Luna break down the paradox of oil prices climbing on U.S. military strikes in Iran even as a diplomatic deal remains on the table. They explore how the Strait of Hormuz risk premium is reshaping the barrel, why Brent and WTI are diverging again, and what the 10-year breakeven inflation rate tells us about market expectations. Plus, why solar stocks like Enphase Energy are surging 29 percent in the same week oil jumps — and what that says about investor conviction in a multi-speed energy transition. #OilPrices #MiddleEast #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #BrentCrude #WTI #Inflation #BreakevenInflation #SolarStocks #EnphaseEnergy #Renewables #EnergyTransition #Geopolitics #RiskPremium #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #EnergyEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
