When there is an oil shortage, transport gets delayed, then delivery of goods get delayed, and there is a gap created in the market leading to non performance of several companies that are dependent on transport.
On the other hand, the shortage of oil can drive up oil costs, and also the transportation charges increase; and that means as an end result the companies dependant on transport are paying a higher price and making lesser money. All these factors affect the share value in a company.
Similarly oil also affects the gold and silver prices. The dollar value changes and the world currency dynamics also changes. The buying power of all countries is constantly changing due to oil prices. If one wants to invest in oil and gas industry, they should be prepared to deal with extremely swinging and volatile markets. It is not at all a stable market, and the returns can swing either ways.
The shortage in oil industry means the fall in oil prices to the extent that it can hit rock bottom. However, if there is a free flow of oil, then they can expect it to perform extremely well. Nonetheless, while investing in oil industry keeping the investments short term is a more sensible thing to do.
