The Euro and Oil Price Stability
The European Central Bank (ECB) is asserting its commitment to preserving the euro, signaling it will take necessary measures to ensure economic stability. Despite escalating tensions in the Middle East, which historically have caused oil prices to surge, current levels have surprisingly remained stable. An expert, Paul Sankey, attributes this stability to several factors, including the profound effects of the US unconventional oil production revolution, which has shifted the global dynamics. The US's emergence as a net oil exporter, with significant production increases, has led to a more robust supply network that mitigates the risks usually associated with geopolitical unrest.
