As geopolitical conflicts continue to reshape global trade, Ferg joins us to discuss the structural “off-ramps” disappearing in the energy sector and where he is finding the most asymmetric value in a volatile market.

Discussion Highlights:

• The Strategic Pivot to Coal: With LNG supplies constrained, Ferg highlights the “knife fight” for coal in the Asian cooling season. He identifies high-quality thermal coal as a primary beneficiary of the current energy gap.
• Agriculture and the Fertilizer Link: Ferg explains why he is bullish on Corn, citing the massive disruption in fertilizer shipments through the Strait of Hormuz during peak planting season.
• The Structural Bull Case for Uranium: The conversation shifts to the nuclear sector, where Ferg emphasizes that energy security concerns are forcing countries like Japan, China, and South Korea to pivot back to uranium as a reliable baseload power source.
