The average price of diesel in the U.S. is now around $6.00 a gallon, and around $8.00 a gallon in Sonoma County. The average price of regular gas nationally is $4.31 a gallon, and it sells for more than $6.00 a gallon in Sonoma. The markets for plant fertilizers and sulfur are in disarray.

The conflicting news and gradual escalation are confusing, but this conflict will not end soon. That is the Titanic lesson stated in financial terms. A slow-onset catastrophe is indistinguishable from a false alarm until the point the lifeboats are gone. The reason to act in April was never confidence in the forecast. It was the asymmetry between the cost of preparing and the cost of being wrong.

The world is not short of crude oil to the degree the 2022 shock implied. It is short of the plants that turn crude into diesel. Coincidental production decisions in non-Gulf countries are compounding the problems for the world economy.

Small and Medium-sized Businesses should be reevaluating operations and financial goals. Attend my two-hour class, and you will leave with a financial projection for dealing with the upcoming turmoil.
