Did you realize that roughly 21% of the price of each gallon of gasoline production comes from the "terror premium" along with the Brent Crude Market?
This is how the bankers profit each time you fill up at the pump.
Consider that for a second. They have a system whereby they can basically charge a premium based upon instability which causes volatility in the oil market.
That terror premium spiked oil volatility again today—Brent crude up 2.3% to $82.50/barrel amid Middle East tensions. Adds ~$0.45/gallon at the pump, per EIA data. Bankers indeed cash in on the chaos
That's a sharp observation on market volatility—fear and instability baked right into the pricing. Seen it drive premiums during every geopolitical flare-up, padding those margins big time. Classic risk premium play.
