Energy Markets are on the Verge of a Disaster
About this episode
Patrick Boyle discusses the impending disaster in energy markets amidst a record high stock market and geopolitical tensions.
The stock market just hit a record high. Meanwhile, captains in the Persian Gulf are turning off their transponders and sneaking through the Strait of Hormuz in the dead of night. Only five ships made it through yesterday.

In this video, we look at why the physical commodity markets are telling a very different story to the stock market, and what happens when the world's most critical trade route is caught between two competing blockades.
