Why do gas prices in the United States rise when conflict breaks out in the Middle East? In this interview on The Joe Pags Show, Jay Young, Founder and CEO of King Operating Corporation, explains how the Strait of Hormuz, global oil supply, OPEC, U.S. production, and refining capacity all impact what Americans pay at the pump.
Jay discusses why oil is a global commodity, why the U.S. cannot fully escape international price shocks, how refinery limitations affect domestic supply, and why disruptions in overseas shipping routes can quickly drive up gasoline prices. He also breaks down the economics of shale production, the role of the Permian Basin, and how supply and demand continue to shape the energy market.

Why Iran tensions can raise U.S. gas prices
The Strait of Hormuz and global oil markets
