How Does Global Supply Chain Pressure Affect Oil Prices in Futures Markets?
The rise in global supply chain pressure (GSCP) not only disturbs global sustainable development but also affects commodity prices. In this study, taking crude oil as an example, we use data from 1998 to 2024 and employ a structural VAR model to explore this effect. The empirical findings reveal that after a positive GSCP shock, crude oil prices rose immediately before the outbreak of global trade tensions in 2018. After 2018, however, prices decreased initially and then increased again about two months later. This response heterogeneity is primarily related to differences in the key drivers of GSCP between two periods.
