|
|
|
South Korea and Japan have led declines in global stock markets amid the oil shock, underscoring how supply disruptions in the Middle East are weighing on growth in economies heavily reliant on fuel imports.
The Kospi index in Seoul has slumped 12 per cent since the US-Israel war with Iran broke out on February 28, while Tokyo's Nikkei 225 has slid nearly 9 per cent. South Korea last week moved to cap oil price increases to limit inflation, while rising crude costs added to price pressures in......

Ein Stoff rückt besonders in den Fokus: Helium. Die Chipindustrie benötigt das Edelgas, um Siliziumwafer während der Fertigung zu kühlen. Einen Ersatz gibt es bislang nicht. Laut Teilnehmern der Krisensitzung in Seouls Nationalversammlung werden bis zu 90 Prozent des Bedarfs an einigen Materialien – darunter auch Helium – aus dem Nahen Osten geliefert.. --- Die Versorgungslage hat sich zuletzt deutlich zugespitzt: Nach einem Drohnenangriff auf die zentrale Erdgasanlage in Ras Laffan legte Qatar Energy die Produktion still und berief sich dabei auf höhere Gewalt, um nicht für Schäden in den Lieferketten aufkommen zu müssen. Das Unternehmen steht für rund 30 Prozent der globalen Heliumproduktion. Die Fachzeitschrift Gasworld rechnet laut Bericht mit einem Preisanstieg von bis zu 50 Prozent.. --- Neben dem Materialmangel belastet ein weiterer Faktor die Branche: Südkorea deckt etwa 70 Prozent seines Ölbedarfs über den Nahen Osten..
