My guest today is Daniel Dicker, a seasoned oil trader, former floor broker at the NYMEX, and well-known expert on energy markets. Over a three-decade career, Daniel has seen the full arc of oil’s role in financial markets—from a bellwether commodity to a sidelined input. In this conversation, we explore why oil has fallen off the radar for many investors, and what signs might bring it roaring back. We also discuss why renewables aren’t ready, how nuclear fits in, and the unexpected reasons he might start buying oil again. Please enjoy this conversation with Daniel Dicker.
