Oil & Gas – Energy Market Pays the Price for the Conflict

Gas Prices: Gas prices are rising sharply to their highest level of the year.
Financial markets: The financial markets expect gas shortages, particularly in the short term.
Oil: Oil markets are volatile, but actual shortages are most evident in petroleum products.
Types of oil: Since there are significant differences between types of oil, a shortage of one type cannot simply be made up for by another.
Interest Rates: Central banks are keeping interest rates stable despite higher inflation caused by rising energy prices.
