In this episode of the Flux News podcast, Group CEO Greg Newman is joined by Harry Campion-Evans from Onyx Markets and "Geek in the Seat" Harinder Sandhu to unpack the aftermath of the Israel-Iran conflict and its whiplash effect on global oil markets. With volatility collapsing, producer hedging accelerating, and refiners raking in profits, they look beneath the headlines to understand who actually came out on top - and why the bearish consensus might be getting ahead of itself.

This week’s discussion dives into:

• The volatility unwind: how trade houses crushed overpriced options after the ceasefire

• Why flat price ignored the news flow - and what Brent spreads reveal about true sentiment

• The return of Iranian barrels, Trump’s oil tweets, and what they mean for 2025 balances

• OPEC’s next move: paper unwind or physical flood? And why the Saudis are playing it slow

• CTA, hedge fund, and retail whiplash: who faded the spike, and who got caught?

• Crack spreads remain sky-high, even as UK refineries shut down. What's really going on here?

• And more!
