Nicola Willis: Finance Minister on what the US-Iran peace deal means for fuel prices and the economy

News of a peace agreement to be signed this between Iran and the US is prompting optimism about fuel prices and the global economy, but the Finance Minister is staying cautious. Both sides have agreed a deal, to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday - and it's understood the the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and 60 days of nuclear negotiations will commence. Nicola Willis says there's been breakthroughs followed by backsliding over the last few months as the conflict continued.  "I'm steeled for possibly bad news, but hopeful this is going to stick because we've already seen the global oil price come down pretty significantly as a result, and I'd love to see it keep coming down."  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Kelly Eckhold: Westpac chief economist on what the US-Iran peace agreement could mean for fuel prices

An economist says it won't be long until 91 petrol is consistently back down at $2.80. The US and Iran peace agreement to cease hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is sending positive signals for the global oil industry.  Westpac chief economist Kelly Eckhold says prices will stay low, once ships are moving normally.  "We know that there's pretty low inventories out there around the world at the moment, so we need that supply chain to be working at full tilt for a while so that all of those things can get replenished."

Eric Berger: author and senior space writer on the SpaceX IPO making Elon the world's first trillionaire

Questions over whether SpaceX will live up to its colossal share price.  Shares soared above $160 US dollars as the rocket, satellite and data centre company hit the market yesterday.  It's sent Elon Musk skyrocketing to trillionaire status - a world first. Eric Berger, who's authored two books about Musk, says it's still a risky investment for those buying in - partly due to Musk's erratic personality. "You're betting on the company being able to get Starship, the rocket, flying rapidly and safely - and then build an enormous consolidation of data centres in space."  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
