The Not-So Super-Cycle with Ivo Sarjanovic
About this episode
Are we truly in a commodity super-cycle? Or has a global pandemic, supply disruption, inflation and wishful thinking around energy transition created a short-term price increase and much hype. In this episode, we take a more nuanced look at the super cycle hypothesis and seek to understand whether energy, metals and ags will all see a secular macro shift up in prices in the coming decade. Our guest thinks not. Ivo Sarjanovic is a former Cargill executive and former CEO of Alvean, one of the world’s largest sugar traders and now sits on the boards of a number of commodities participants. He is also adjunct professor teaching agricultural commodities at the University of Geneva and Di Tella University in Buenos Aires.
