Why this matters

Rising oil prices significantly impact global economies, influencing everything from transportation costs to inflation, and can signal shifts in geopolitical stability. For Canada, a major oil producer, high prices boost energy sector profits and national revenue, while geopolitical tensions in the Middle East often directly affect oil supply and pricing.
