Oil, gold, lithium and more – materials and energy in focus

As conflict continues in the Middle East, oil and gas supply shocks have significant implications far beyond the price of a barrel of crude. The flow on effects touch every part of the economy, but materials and energy are affected more than most.

MineLife’s Gavin Wendt joins the podcast to discuss the impacts in depth, covering:

  • The oil price and its outlook as the conflict continues
  • How Australia’s iron ore producers are affected
  • Whether the lithium price will continue to rise
  • What energy security looks like, and the impact on renewables and nuclear, and
  • Why gold remains the safe haven asset of choice for more and more investors.
