Njengoba amanani entengo kawoyela emhlabeni wonke enyuka isonto lesithathu elilandelanayo ngemuva kokuncishiswa kokukhiqizwa okuvela eSaudi Arabia naseRussia, ukukhathazeka ngengcindezi yokwehla kwamandla emali e-US kuyanda, nabahlaziyi bethi lokhu kungase kuholele ekuphikiseni okusha kwe-Fed uma kuziwa ekulungiseni ijubane lokuqinisa inqubomgomo yezimali.

Kokubili i-West Texas Intermediate (WTI) kanye nekusasa likawoyela ongahluziwe we-Brent andisa ukuphakama kwezinyanga eziningi mayelana nokukhathazeka ngokutholakala okuqinile. I-WTI yazinza eduze kuka-$90.4 umphongolo ngoLwesihlanu, inani eliphakeme kakhulu kusukela ngoNovemba 2022, kwathi i-Brent yashaya u-$94.31 umphongolo ngamunye, nayo ephezulu kakhulu ezinyangeni eziyi-10.

Ezinyangeni ezimbili ezedlule amanani kawoyela emhlabeni wonke anyuke cishe ngamaphesenti angama-20. I-International Energy Agency kanye ne-Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries bobabili baxwayise kuleli sonto ukuthi imakethe izoshoda ekupheleni konyaka ngenxa yokuncishiswa kokukhiqizwa kweSaudi Arabia naseRussia.
Ngenxa yalokhu, amanani kaphethiloli e-US akhuphukele kwirekhodi le-sasonal, njengoba uphethiloli ojwayelekile manje usubiza u-$3.866 ilitha, ukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-7.8 emasontweni ayisishiyagalombili nje, ngokusho kwedatha ye-American Automobile Association.

"Ukwenyuka okuqhubekayo kwentengo kaphethiloli wase-US kungase kubeke engozini impi ye-Fed ngokumelene nokwehla kwamandla emali. Ngesikhathi lapho i-Fed ithumele amasignali mayelana nokulungisa umgomo wayo wezezimali oqinisiwe, ingcindezi evuselelwe yokwehla kwamandla emali akuyona into enhle," kusho uChen Chao, umhlaziyi wezimpahla, etshela i-Global Times ngoMgqibelo.

Ukukhathazeka ngengcindezi entsha yokwehla kwamandla emali kufike ngesikhathi lapho inkomba yentengo yabathengi base-US ngo-August inyuke ngamaphesenti angu-3.7 kusukela ngonyaka odlule, isuka kumaphesenti angu-3.2 ngoJulayi futhi ingaphezu kwalokho okulindeleke emakethe, ngokusho koMnyango Wezabasebenzi wase-US.Onodoli Abangokoqobo Bocansi.

Ukwehla kwamandla emali kusaqhubeka nokuba yinkinga enkulu emnothweni nasemphakathini wase-US. Inyunyana i-United Auto Workers (UAW) isiteleka ibhekene neGeneral Motors, Ford kanye neStellantis, okokuqala emlandweni wayo ukuthi ishaye womathathu ama-automakers aseMelika ngesikhathi esisodwa. I-UAW ithi abasebenzi bezimoto babone kuphela amaphesenti ayisi-6 ezinzuzo zamaholo ngonyaka kusukela ngo-2019, futhi ukwehla kwamandla emali kunciphise okuningi kwalezo zinzuzo.

Uma i-Fed ingagcini inqubomgomo yayo yezimali iqinile, ingcindezi yokwehla kwamandla emali ingase ishube, kodwa inqubomgomo yezimali eqinile inyusa amathuba okuthi umnotho wase-US uzokwehla, kuchaza uChen. "Ngakho-ke umbuzo uthi i-US ingakwazi yini ukukhipha imiphongolo eyengeziwe ku-Strategic Petroleum Reserve yayo, kodwa ukukhishwa kwendawo yokugcinwa kwamasu akulula kangako."

ukugcina akulula kangako.”
