Over the past number of weeks, global headlines have been dominated by escalating tensions in the Middle East. The reality is this: When global conflict rises, energy markets react - fast. What’s Actually Happening? Two key things are being impacted right now: 1. Petcoke (Petroleum Coke) Prices Petcoke is a key raw material used in the production of smokeless coal.
