  • For Oil Markets, the Strait of Hormuz Isn’t Closed Says Blas

We have not one but two perfect guests to talk to us toda…

  • Javier Blas on China's Rare Earths Dominance | Odd Lots

    April 15, 2025 · 📺 Bloomberg Podcasts

    Every time there is tension between the US and China, there are stories about China threatening to withhold exports of rare earth metals, which are supposedly crucial for all kinds of advanced technologies. In this episode, recorded in Bloomberg's London studio, Bloomberg Opinion columnist Javier Blas helps us clear up some misconceptions about them. For one thing, rare earths aren't actually that rare. Furthermore, the amount of global trade of these minerals is fairly minuscule. The US only imports $170 million worth in a year. And then beyond that, the most common usage of them is in vacuum…

  • Javier Blas Explains How Commodity Trading Shops Really Work | Odd Lots

    May 02, 2022 · 📺 Bloomberg Podcasts

    One of the big themes these days is the return of the 'real' economy. You can't solve problems these days with just money. Not everything can be done by sitting behind a screen. And so some of the most important players in this new environment are the commodity trading shops, which help arrange financing and delivery of oil, coal, natural gas, nickel and everything else you can think of across the far-flung corners of the globe. It's a very different type of business than most trading, which is mostly just about charts on a screen. On this episode we speak with long-time commodities journalist…
