They could just protect themselves with futures contracts instead of going through all of that. That’s what they’re for.

I remain unable to secure a contract where I can buy now my lifetime supply of gasoline, NG, and diesel.

YMMV

Jet engines dont run on paper fuel, they need the real thing. There are certain sectors that need the physical in hand, not a promise to pay.

Silver comes to mind....AI, Solar, and Electronics need real Silver to operate, simply paper doesn’t work.
