In this episode of the Flux News podcast, Group CEO, Greg Newman, Harry Campion from Onyx Markets, and Geek in the Seat, Martha Dowding, analyse the past week in the oil market.

Greg, Harry and Martha unpack the long-term implications of OPEC’s latest production cuts and the escalating tug-of-war between supply control and market stability. They discuss how OPEC's coordinated actions - particularly from key players like Saudi Arabia and Russia - are expected to fuel a 5-year surge in oil market volatility, reshaping trading strategies across the globe. They also analyse the role of U.S. shale producers, shifting demand patterns in Asia, and how geopolitical friction—especially in the Middle East—is amplifying uncertainty in global oil flows.

They also analyse how institutional investors, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth funds are positioning themselves in this turbulent environment, and what it means for oil futures, energy stocks, and commodity ETFs. Whether you're trading WTI or Brent, or just trying to understand how oil price swings affect inflation and your portfolio, this episode delivers critical insight into the mechanics behind the world’s most watched commodity market.
