New podcast episode examines mounting disruptions in oil markets

The latest episode of the IEA's Everything Energy podcast examines how the plunge in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz - one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints - is rippling through global oil markets.

Now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, the episode features insights from senior oil market analysts Rebecca Schultz and David Martin. They discuss the latest data, drawing from the IEA's April Oil Market Report, and explore the real-world consequences for oil-consuming countries and industries - as well as how the situation has reshaped the IEA's forecasts for supply and demand in the months ahead.

The Everything Energy podcast offers perspectives on a wide range of leading global energy issues. In other recent episodes, IEA experts have discussed the Agency's largest-ever emergency oil stock release, walked through 10 measures that could help shelter consumers from the effects of higher oil prices, and explored how countries across Southeast Asia are feeling the effects of the current energy crisis.
