Bottlenecks in Energy Creates Opportunity

  • Oil & Gas provides 97% of the energy used by the Transportation Industry
  • Transportation Industry uses 16% of the applications created from Oil & Gas

Putting those two headline facts together, tells me we are not going to stop using oil and gas any time soon. Supply constraints from USA regulations, a war that is sucking energy and limiting global supply, combined with last week’s OPEC reducing production because the USA foreign policy blunder in favoring Iran over Saudi Arabia, tells me oil and gas pricing is cheap at its current level.

Shift to Hard Assets Starts Again

This week we shared an interview with Jeff Currie, director of Commodities at Goldman Sachs. He is certainly talking his book when saying the trend for the foreseeable future is owning commodities. We happen to agree with him regardless. His supporting evidence includes:

US Dollar Causing Havoc with Other Currencies

Washington Post, September 26, 2022

Bloomberg September 22, 2022.

Currency problems and Global financial system problems will create a “cause and effect” reaction to the Federal Reserve’s raising interest rates (cause) and then pausing (effect) its hiking of interest rates. Rapid increases (3/4% multiple times in a row) are very traumatic for countries who hold dollar denominated debt or treasuries. Dollar and interest rates up/US Treasuries down.
