What happened
Major oil companies, including ExxonMobil and Chevron Corporation, reported exceptionally profitable quarters. This windfall was driven by disruptions to energy supplies caused by the Iran war and the Russia conflict. ExxonMobil's profits climbed to $15.4 billion, a 104% increase over the previous year.

Why it matters
The supply disruptions have pushed refining margins to extraordinary levels. These high fuel prices have led to increased consumer costs, with American families spending an average of $856 more on gasoline since the war started. The profits have also drawn political criticism from Donald Trump, who has demanded that Big Oil return windfall profits.
