Energy Market Outlook: Geopolitics, Inflation & the Future of Oil & Gas
Geopolitical tensions, inflation, monetary policy, and shifting global supply and demand continue to shape the outlook for oil and gas. Featuring perspectives from the Federal Reserve and energy investment sector, this discussion will explore how these forces are influencing commodity prices, capital markets, and the broader economy—and what finance leaders should be watching as they plan for the future.
Kunal Patel, Senior Business Economics, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
Lane Britain, Managing Partner, PetroCap
Learning Objectives: By attending you will be able to:
· Assess the impact of geopolitical developments on energy markets by identifying how conflicts, trade disruptions, sanctions, and global instability can influence oil and gas supply, demand, and commodity pricing.
· Evaluate the relationship between energy prices, inflation, and the broader U.S. economy, including how changes in commodity markets can affect inflationary pressures, interest-rate expectations, business costs, and economic growth.
