The briefing is also a great way to stay on top of the big themes that are emerging on Real Vision. If you have never watched Real Vision, do not miss out any longer. Many of their guests, including CEO Raoul Pal, nailed the trajectory of markets over the past year. Their coverage helped me personally navigate a treacherous March.

That is why they have have been laser-focused on oil and energy markets and why they have brought back Alexander Campbell, CIO and founder of Black Snow Capital. Campbell isn’t just looking at commodities though. In this interview, he focuses on how the demand shock of COVID-19 coupled with a price war that is increasingly looking to be a three-party affair between the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Russia could create a balance of payments issue for the Kingdom. He makes his case that the Saudis may be forced to reevaluate the long-standing peg between the Saudi Riyal and U.S. Dollar and lays out two different ways to play the setup.
