Question

Why do most goods have relatively stable prices, while gasoline fluctuates on a daily basis?

In: Economics

Answer 1

on most other good you are mostly confident that the supply remains stable as long as you know the producers are providing.

for gas the issue is that there a lot less stability in the supply of Oil vs the demand for fuel and some of the locations that have reserves might have political issues that could cut off access to them. this makes trading for Oil more volatile of a market.
