Oil prices hit multi-year highs and inflation rises as US-Iran war disrupts Persian Gulf energy supply
Brent crude surpassed $126 per barrel before retreating to around $114, reaching its highest level since the US-Iran war began, as the Strait of Hormuz remains throttled. US gasoline prices rose to $4.30 per gallon, more than a dollar above year-ago levels, while eurozone inflation surged to 3% and US PCE inflation rose to 3.5% in March. President Trump indicated support for continuing a naval blockade of Iranian ports and was briefed by Pentagon officials on military options.
