Why this matters

Oil prices above $100 significantly increase energy costs globally, impacting inflation, transportation, and manufacturing. The current surge is linked to active conflict in the Middle East, raising concerns about potential long-term supply chain disruptions and economic instability. Consumers are already feeling the pinch, with diesel prices hitting historic highs in the US.
