Once More, With Energy: Gas Prices, G7 and Ken Langone 6/27/22
We’re kicking off the week with a super-sized Squawk Pod! Three big interviews that all start with the key question Wall Street is asking: how bad is the impact of 2022’s high energy prices? Becky Quick and Brian Sullivan weigh the influence higher gas prices have on the stock market, and G7 leaders convene in Germany to discuss additional Ukraine support and new sanctions that include a proposal to cap the price of Russian oil exports. Goldman Sachs’ Jeff Currie says a brief pullback in global energy prices signals a buying opportunity for investors. Noted tech investor John Doerr has a legendary track record – he was an early back of both Google and Amazon – and today, he calls the shift away from fossil fuels a revolution that rivals the creation of the Internet. Andrew Ross Sorkin catches up with Doerr at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. NBCUniversal News Group is the media partner of the Aspen Ideas Festival. Plus, Home Depot co-founder and billionaire Ken Langone joins Squawk Box for a special interview that covers inflation, divisiveness and the complicated balancing act of policy and politics.
