Why a 5% Oil Drop Doesn't Mean Lower Gas Prices Yet

from Energy Economics with Fexingo: Oil Prices, Renewables, and the Cost of Power · host Fexingo

West Texas Intermediate crude slid below $85 a barrel on Iran ceasefire hopes, yet regular gasoline remains at $4.00 a gallon. In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the disconnect: why oil's geopolitical risk premium is fading faster than the refining bottleneck that keeps pump prices high. They dive into the latest CPI and breakeven inflation data to show how the market is pricing in a softer demand outlook even as supply fears ease. A focused look at what the Iran signal really means for energy costs and the broader economy. #OilPrices #Gasoline #IranCeasefire #RiskPremium #RefiningMargins #CPI #Inflation #BreakevenInflation #WestTexasIntermediate #BrentCrude #EnergyEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #Macro #SupplyChain #Geopolitics #FOMC Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
