Shipping costs soar, who is the first to "break down"? The answer is a bit painful!

As oil prices rise, who is the most directly affected?
Not consumers, but —
Businesses.
Especially those in industries that rely on transportation:
✔ Aviation
✔ Manufacturing
✔ Retail
When costs go up, profits are squeezed.
It's like an "invisible tax," with companies bearing the brunt first, then consumers.
So the market will react in advance:
✔ Cost-sensitive industries decline
✔ Energy-related sectors strengthen
But the problem is, this pressure won't end immediately.
If oil prices stay high, the impact will gradually spread.
In one sentence:
When oil prices rise, the first to be hurt are often not you, but the companies.
