The Oil Market: OPEC+, Tariffs and Recession with Matt Smith
About this episode
Today we return to the oil market, a market that is in flux, both from a traditional supply and demand picture, but that is now also embroiled in geopolitics, an uncertain global trade environment and a potential recession.

Is that set to continue? Our guest is Matt Smith, lead energy analyst for the US at the data and analytics company Kpler
