Summary
Oil prices surge past $100 a barrel for the first time since July, fueled by Middle East turmoil—including U.S. strikes on Iranian tankers and Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities—disrupting global supply chains. Gasoline hits $4.22 a gallon, up over a dollar from last year; diesel and jet fuel soar, forcing airlines to cut flights and raise fares. With tensions between Israel and Iran escalating and no lasting peace deal in sight before U.S. midterms, analysts warn prices could climb to $95–$120, or even $150, if infrastructure damage worsens—putting global consumers and businesses under mounting pressure.
