Oil prices have dropped, there’s a ceasefire… so why are we still paying through the nose at the pumps?
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and—somewhat miraculously—the world hasn’t ended. Now, I don’t say that flippantly. Because just 24 hours ago, it genuinely felt like things were teetering on the edge. When world leaders start throwing around phrases like “destroy a civilisation forever,” you do tend to sit up a bit straighter and think, hang on… where exactly is this going? And yet here we are. A ceasefire has been announced. The immediate threat of escalation appears to have eased. On the surface, you might be forgiven for thinking, right then, crisis over… back to normal… fuel prices will drop again. Yeah… about that.
