The tiny fish may sound utterly mundane, but its importance to the global economy is far larger than just foodies' craving for the umami taste.
China giveth and China taketh away. Beijing managed to do both these things at once in its response to the Strait of Hormuz oil shock. By massively reducing its imports of crude, it gave to the world, becoming the “invisible hand” that stopped prices from reaching $200 a barrel. But what if much of its withdrawal of demand is permanent, not temporary?
The end of the Iran war, despite all the ups and downs in the ceasefire talks, has solved one oil problem. The price of crude has fallen to less than $75 a barrel, roughly where it was before the conflict began in February. But the almost simultaneous escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war in recent weeks is creating another — and less discussed — oil headache: The price of refined petroleum products remain as high as if crude oil was still changing hands above $100 a barrel.
