Conflict Creates Winners And Losers Across Industries
The ongoing conflict between the US and Iran has created a divide in the global economy, with some industries experiencing significant profits while others face rising costs and disruptions. Energy companies such as ExxonMobil and Shell have reported record profits, while defense contractors have secured multi-billion dollar contracts. In contrast, airlines and carmakers are struggling with high fuel costs and supply chain disruptions. The conflict has also boosted renewable energy and coal, as countries seek alternatives to oil and gas. This was reported by Bangkokbiznews and The Nation Editorial Team.
