19 分钟Geopolitical tensions, trade policies,
and a slowing economy are driving significant volatility across gold,
oil, and other commodities.
So what's the outlook from here?
I'm Alison Nathan, and this is Goldman Sachs Exchanges.
For today's episode, I'm speaking with my colleague in Goldman Sachs research,
Dan Stroyven, co-head of global commodities research and head of oil research,
to talk about how recent events,
notably the Middle East conflict and evolving tariff policies,
are affecting the broader commodity and economic landscape.
Dan, welcome back to the program.
Thanks, Alison.
So...
Let's start with oil.
I think the obvious place to start.
Oil prices have been very volatile amid these recent developments in the Middle East.
But I think what's most striking to me is how quickly they actually retreated from the recent highs.
And they're still at lower levels than I think many people would have expected.
given the recent developments.
So why is this?
