The international benchmark, Brent Crude, has hit a new record for 2023, beating $97 per barrel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, crude oil prices faced<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Energy\/Energy-General\/Oil-Prices-Set-For-Their-Sharpest-Weekly-Drop-In-Six-Months.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">significant drops<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Brent Crude decreased by nearly 12%, while WTI declined by almost 9%. The sudden crash was instigated by a report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) citing weak U.S. gasoline demand, resulting in an abrupt shift in market sentiment. Tensions were exacerbated further by a bond market selloff, stimulating concerns about the future of the global economy and oil demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the reduction, price levels remain high, potentially instigating economic challenges for industries closely tied to the energy sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, before delving into the implications for related industries, a discussion regarding the reasons behind these unprecedented oil price levels is crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the global energy watchdog, the International Energy Agency\u2019s (IEA) Oil Market Report (OMR), global oil demand remains on track to rise by 2.2 million b\/d year-over-year to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/oil-market-report-september-2023\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">101.8 million b\/d in 2023<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, fueled by rejuvenated Chinese consumption and increasing demands for jet fuel and petrochemical feedstocks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Standard Chartered commodity analysts' data, the U.S. oil demand demonstrates resilience and outpaces previous forecasts \u2013 bolstering the assertion of burgeoning gasoline and jet fuel demands that align with household behavior patterns. The EIA projects an annual boost in initial gasoline demand of 98 kb\/d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goldman Sachs predicts the persistent demand to culminate in a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Energy\/Oil-Prices\/Rising-Oil-Prices-Could-Threaten-Feds-Soft-Landing.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">larger-than-anticipated deficit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of up to 1.8 million bpd during the latter half of 2023 and a 600,000 bpd deficit in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other factors influencing supply and demand dynamics revolve around OPEC+ and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Latest-Energy-News\/World-News\/Russia-To-Cut-Oil-Exports-By-300000-bpd-In-September.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s orchestrated production cuts and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.upstreamonline.com\/production\/saudi-arabia-extends-oil-production-cut-may-deepen-output-reduction\/2-1-1496040?zephr_sso_ott=yd3Fd9\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extensive crude draws<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, suggesting a probable surge in oil prices. Unexpected<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Energy\/Crude-Oil\/Major-Libyan-Oilfields-Halted-As-Global-Supply-Disruptions-Grow.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supply disruptions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Angola, Libya, and Nigeria might enhance oil prices. These elements point to a robustly bullish forecast for the remainder of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry analysts project the growing trend in oil prices to persist. Norwegian oil and gas firm Equinor\u2019s chief economist anticipates global crude oil prices could<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/europe-can-slice-co2-emissions-70-by-2050-says-equinor-executive-2023-10-04\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reach $100 a barrel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) unveils<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/markets\/commodities\/tight-supply-inflation-concerns-keep-crude-oil-investors-on-fence-123092800919_1.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> storage hub, which is the delivery point for U.S. crude futures, plunged by 943,000 barrels in the fourth week of September to less than 22 million barrels, the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/dnav\/pet\/hist\/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&amp;s=W_EPC0_SAX_YCUOK_MBBL&amp;f=W\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lowest since July 2022<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This incited an energy price surge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the oil prices have eased, they remain well above and potentially detrimental to numerous businesses. Industries such as air travel and cruise operators, which heavily rely on fuel derived from oil, bear the burden of these soaring prices. Potential consequences include less consumer travel due to escalating airline ticket prices, resulting in repercussions for businesses within the tourism sector. Additionally, profits may decline significantly for chemical companies that utilize large quantities of oil for products such as paint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, investors may want to avoid the following three stocks until oil prices decrease more substantially:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotes.ino.com\/charting\/?s=NYSE_DAL\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DAL provides scheduled air transportation services for passengers and cargo in the U.S. and internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crude oil is the predominant raw material for jet fuels and the lifeblood of airplanes. Jet fuel expenses, one of the most significant expenses for airlines, account for<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/biggest-expenses-airlines-guide\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10% and 12% of airlines\u2019 operating costs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Hence, elevated oil prices increase jet fuel costs and can significantly impact the profitability and cash flow of DAL and other similar airline operators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High oil prices can coerce airlines to compensate by inflating ticket prices or incorporating<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/money\/23862850\/flights-travel-delays-fees-nightmares-compensation-airlines\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supplementary charges<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Therefore, the interest in air travel, particularly for discretionary and leisure trips, could dwindle, resulting in a decreasing demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DAL\u2019s CEO Ed Bastian previously cautioned that<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-60781625\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">elevated oil prices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/lifestyle\/delta-ceo-more-government-regulations-could-lead-higher-ticket-prices\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased government regulations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> could catalyze a surge in ticket prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, DAL is known for<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delivering high-quality service backed by well-trained staff and a customer-centric approach. The company's commitment to uphold these standards and offer amenities inevitably<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lovethemaldives.com\/faq\/why-are-delta-flights-so-expensive\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">influences ticket prices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DAL\u2019s oil refinery in Trainer, Pennsylvania, purchased in 2012, processes jet fuel, gasoline, and diesel. The airline company strategized to use this refinery as a hedge against fluctuating oil prices and costs related to jet fuel. However, the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/08\/10\/business\/energy-environment\/delta-oil-refinery-jet-fuel.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strategy was ineffective<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as the refinery suffered losses amid maintenance challenges, pipeline disruptions, and unfavorable market conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, as of June 30, 2023, DAL's adjusted net debt stood at $19.84 billion, marking a 1.3% increase year-over-year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently disclosed<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/aerospace-defense\/delta-air-cuts-third-quarter-profit-forecast-rising-fuel-costs-2023-09-14\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quality issues with RTX\u2019s Pratt &amp; Whitney engines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are expected to impact the U.S. carrier moderately. The problem arose due to a powder metal defect that may cause cracks in some components of the engines. Despite an initial estimation by RTX of repair work lasting 60 days per engine, it is expected to take up to 300 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DAL has trimmed its third-quarter operating margin and profit forecasts as Russia and Saudi Arabia\u2019s extended oil production cuts amplified the airline's fuel expenditures. The carrier anticipates a third-quarter profit ranging from $1.85 to $2.05 per share, a drop from its earlier estimate of $2.20 to $2.50 per share.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering all these circumstances, it might be judicious to avoid DAL stock now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotes.ino.com\/charting\/?s=NYSE_CCL\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carnival Corporation &amp; plc (CCL)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A leading provider of leisure travel services, CCL, operating a fleet of over 90 ships accessing nearly 700 ports, faces significant hindrances surrounding fuel costs due to rising crude oil prices. This scenario creates a negative backdrop for CCL and other cruise line operators, where the operational expense, mainly fuel, is expected to spike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passenger ticket surcharges are often a response to these inflationary trends. Considering this, CCL\u2019s CEO, Josh Weinstein, indicated that a fuel surcharge is \"<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.in\/thelife\/news\/carnival-ceo-says-charging-passengers-an-extra-fee-to-help-cover-rising-fuel-costs-is-certainly-not-off-the-table\/articleshow\/104114298.cms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">certainly not off the table<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\" However, this move might trigger a plunge in demand for cruises, particularly with the end of \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/10\/02\/is-the-party-over-new-data-suggests-revenge-travel-may-be-ending-soon.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">revenge travel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d and grappling with increased inflation. Cruise operators could see their profitability significantly impacted due to burgeoning oil prices, resulting in a notable hit to CCL\u2019s bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of August 31, 2023, CCL\u2019s debt (current and long-term) stood at $31.30 billion. Moreover, despite high-ticket pricing driving CCL into third-quarter profitability and narrowing its annual loss forecast, the company anticipates a larger-than-predicted<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/autos-transportation\/carnival-posts-quarterly-profit-versus-year-ago-loss-2023-09-29\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fourth-quarter loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The predicted net impact of $130 million from advanced fuel costs and unfavorable currency exchange rates could eliminate most of the third quarter's ex-currency, ex-fuel $200 million outperformance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, costs are projected to be further escalated by an assumed 18% rise in dry dock days for maintenance and repairs in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2024, the confluence of CCL taking ownership of three new vessels and a year marked by extensive maintenance could also add further financial strain. Despite potential offsets due to export credits, new capacity will lead to incremental costs and increased capital expenditures. Consequently, this surge in portfolio growth, together with the extended dry-dock days, would likely cut into the following year's free cash flow, even with robust demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the likelihood of reduced profit margins and dwindling demand due to inflated prices, it may be prudent to approach CCL cautiously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotes.ino.com\/charting\/?s=NASDAQ_AKZOY\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akzo Nobel N.V.

Therefore, elevated crude oil prices present significant challenges to paint companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased oil prices increase the production costs for paint manufacturers, resulting in diminished profitability and growth opportunities for these companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paint companies often transfer these costs to their customers to cope with inflated input costs. However, high prices can negatively affect paints' demand and sales volume, especially in a fiercely competitive market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AKZOY is experiencing this challenge, making it a potentially less attractive stock option.
