The number of factors that effect its price are varied and complex - geopolitics, war, terrorism, labour strikes, accidents like oil spills, new oil discoveries, weather events like hurricanes, artificial supply disruptions - it’s all important along with the good old natural rise and fall of demand and supply.
This makes like difficult for oil users and refiners. Predicting the margins and growth of these companies is tricky. This is especially true if crude oil or its derivatives is a large percentage of the company’s cost. Think airlines and paint companies.
There are some sectors that take a big hit when crude oil prices rise.
On the other hand rising crude oil prices bring a bonanza for some companies. Investors like to bet of these stocks when crude oil prices rise.
