In this episode of the Resonance podcast, you will learn:

• Markets are very volatile, looking forward and also responding to unseasonal conditions.
• Oil as a proxy of economic growth has to be talked about in the context of asset Inflation. There has been a huge commodity cost recovery across all markets, inflation is everywhere, and energy is not excluded from that.
• Are markets overreacting to positive news?
• Should we expect oil at $100 a barrel?
• Are currencies being devalued through current economic policies?
• Is carbon heading towards 50€?
• What is the impact of gas and carbon on the power market?
• Are balancing costs a cause for concern with a lack of dispatchable power?
• Is this the first £100 winter forward in view of current market dynamics?

Security of supply is not an issue, but at what cost is.
