There is a definite trend this year is energy shortage, domestic power shortage, UK oil shortage, EU natural gas shortage, and energy and resource shortages all over the world. Therefore, oil, natural gas, and coal prices are all going crazy. We have to be prepared to accept more expensive Water, electricity, coal, and more expensive commodities
Why is this happening? I think there are three main reasons:
1. The imbalance between supply and demand, because the epidemic in many countries has not been controlled, the global supply chain is disrupted, production and consumption are problems, and the price of shipping is skyrocketing, transportation costs are expensive, and energy prices are naturally Expensive
2. The currency is over-issued. In order to hedge against the impact of the epidemic, the world’s major economies are printing money without a lower limit. The United States alone has printed 21% of the currency since the founding of the People’s Republic. Go up
3. Energy reform, the recent domestic electricity shortage is actually due to the "dual-carbon" reform. From a global trend, the fight for carbon emission rights will become the focus of the game between major powers, and traditional energy will be restricted for a long time.
Of course, there are other reasons, such as rising prices by energy countries, Wall Street speculation, rising populism, disputes between the United States and Russia, etc.
In general, these core factors are difficult to change in the short term. Even if the country is already working hard on coal mining to combat price speculation, the market will not change. Peak electricity prices in some cities are already rising, and prices are the best. Sensors, the rise in prices brought about by energy reform may have just begun!
