[00:00:33] Exhibit C: World Oil Supply/Demand Hunt expects Iran's oil production to decrease under the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" policy. He also discusses the challenges in reaching a deal between Ukraine and Russia, which could impact Russia's oil exports.

[00:04:55] Exhibit B: US Gas Demand/Supply Hunt highlights the increasing demand for natural gas in power generation, outpacing the growth in LNG exports.

He advises investors to be cautious when considering upstream gas companies.
