MRP 335: Mineral Rights News June 2026
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East on global oil supply and prices, and what it means for mineral and royalty owners.
If you've filled up your gas tank lately, you already know something big is happening in energy markets — and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has shut down roughly 14% of the world's oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil and gas prices on a roller coaster ride that has the Federal Reserve worried about inflation, analysts predicting $3+ gas prices through the end of the decade, and even major OPEC members quietly making moves to protect their own interests. For mineral and royalty owners, higher oil prices are a double edged sword. While it can mean stronger royalty checks in the short term, higher gas prices and the trickle down effect into higher prices for just about everything can offset those gains. In this month's news episode, Justin and I break down what's actually happening, cut through the noise, and talk through what it all means for you as a mineral owner. As always, links to the articles discussed can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com .
