Trump’s Influence on Energy, Gasoline Prices
About this episode
The episode discusses Trump's influence on energy prices and the implications of the Iranian conflict ahead of the midterm elections.
With the US announcing a blockade on Iran and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz remaining in flux, energy prices will become an ever more important issue ahead of the US midterm elections in November. In this episode of Votes and Verdicts, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior energy analyst Rob Barnett joins us to discuss Washington’s influence on energy, what President Donald Trump can and can’t do to lower gasoline prices and the impact of the Iranian conflict on the renewables sector. We also discussed how companies like Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Occidental Petroleum, Continental Resources and First Solar can navigate developments in Washington.
