Oil and gas prices affect much more than fuel or logistics. In fact, they influence many industrial materials used in manufacturing. When oil or gas prices rise, energy costs increase. As a result, factories must spend more to produce materials. At the same time, petrochemical feedstock also becomes more expensive. Therefore, many raw materials experience price changes during energy market volatility. In recent years, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have increased uncertainty. For example, Read more
