1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to our next guest. We're talking to Kylie Ghana,

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: senior commodity strategistem broker at the Kylieue Trading And of course, Kylie,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: we've had the press conference this morning from President Biden

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: talking about he would how he would look to impose

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: higher taxes on oil companies that record windfoil windfall profits

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: without reinvesting this in production. How realistic is this policy

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: From the looks of things, I think this is more talk.

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's realistic that we would actually

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: have it. He would actually have a chance to implement

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: this policy, but I think he just the talk actually

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: does quite a bit of damage to market confidence. And

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: the reality is commodities are a boom and bust industry.

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: The highs are really high and the lows are really low.

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: So if we're gonna a tax success, we're probably gonna

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: have to prepare to subsidize during bad times because the

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: bad times will come back around. They always do. You know,

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: it was a pretty long period about five teen years

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: or so that the oil industry struggled a little bit.

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at even excellent mobiles, um

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: stop price it's now it's at ten dollars, but it

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 1: was at ninety three dollars back in in two thousand

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: and seven, so that's not a huge gain. It's only

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: a gain over over all this many years, fifteen years, um.

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: And and the oil price itself was at eighty dollars

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: back in those in those mid two thousand's as as well. UM.

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: The President when he made his comments today, really referred

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: to the big change from last year to this year.

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: But is there a little bit of a loss of

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: perspective in all of this? In my opinion, there is.

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: I really don't like the spirit of of this type

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,279
Speaker 1: of policy. I mean, the reality is tax cuts deter

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: investment in new production as opposed to doing the opposite,

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: which I believe is the goal is to get oil

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: producers to produce more. But the reality is, unfortunately nobody

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: wants to hear this, but maybe tax breaks two small

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: producers might be a way to do that. Um. Maybe

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: low uh sorry, low interest rate loans too small producers,

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: because it is the small producers that don't have to

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: answer to shareholders and they're the ones they can pick

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: up the slack, and they have been picking up the slack.

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: If you look at the US production at this particular time,

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: we're almost up to the early levels. Similar Similarly, OPEC

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: is as well, so we're producing almost as much oil

44
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: globally as we did in early everybody's still just trying

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: to recalibrate from all the chaos. I mean, the oil

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: industry has been through two black Swan events in the

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: same amount of years. We had the COVID crash and

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: then we had the Russian invasion. If it weren't for

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: those two events, my opinion is we probably would be

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: uh in a comfort zone between about ninety two and

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: sixty five that I got that based on a chart

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: channel that we had been in trading before and after

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: these two events, um with some of very aberrations. Let's

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: take a look at the Baker Hues rig count as well.

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: That's slowly grinding higher. It's up about from about five

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: and thirty now six hundred ten since we had the

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: peak of w T I and March. Are you surprised that,

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: with prices high and seemingly enduringly high, that we haven't

59
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: seen US shower production crank up a bit more? You know,

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: I think production is coming, and it's but it's coming

61
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: slower than what we're used to. But to be honest,

62
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that's such a bad thing in the

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: long run. I think price stability is what is going

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: to be healthy for both businesses and consumers and and

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: everybody involved. It's interesting you mentioned the recount we started

66
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. The recount I think was

67
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: somewhere around a hundred and seventy, and you're right now

68
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: we're up around a two hundred, two year high over

69
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: six hundred. So supply is coming. It's just not coming

70
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: as fast as we all wanted to because we were

71
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: feeling it at the pump. But it it is coming,

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: and I think, um, ideally, in a perfect world, we'd

73
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: like to see some some bald on thing, like I said, uh,

74
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: somewhere in the sixty five to ninety dollar area crewed.

75
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll find the comfort zone and we can I'll

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: get back on with our lives. If you had to

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: pick a date where we would have the right balance

78
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: between supply and demand, when might that be? Well, the

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: interesting thing is we don't know what we don't know.

80
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: You know, if you would have asked us that in January,

81
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: we would have a completely different answer than what we

82
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: might have just a few months later. So all we

83
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: can do is take it day by day. But I

84
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: think we're closer than most people realize. If you look

85
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 1: at UM the big picture numbers roughly about a hundred

86
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: um hunter million barrels a date in both production and consumption.

87
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: We seem to be balancing out there. That's exactly where

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: we were when prices were kind of stabilized in between

89
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: about two thousand eighteen and two thousand nineteen. Prices were

90
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: pretty stable around the sixty dollar range, and we had

91
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: a very similar type of global production and supply figures.

92
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: Now I know there's prospects and speculation that China is

93
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: going to come back online and all of these things

94
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: are going to be uh brought out a balance again.

95
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: But the reality is, again we don't know what we

96
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: don't know, so we just could take it day by

97
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: day and see how things go. Okay, I'll put you

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: on this spot July one next year. Where do you

99
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: see w A T I crude, Well, I think we're

100
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: gonna be closer to six than we are a hundred.

101
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully that helps. I I believe that. Do you think

102
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: do you think recession is coming? Um? I think that

103
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: we're in recession, and I think that the reality is

104
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: in commodities, high price is always cure high prices, and

105
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't think we've completed the downside cycle yet. That's

106
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: a good point, Okay, Carl, Thank you very much for

107
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: being with us. Carly Garner, senior commodity strategist and broker
