FxNews—Gasoline prices in the US have climbed back over $2.00 per gallon due to worries about potential supply disruptions. This concern has grown as tensions increase between Israel and Iran. The fear is that the conflict could expand regionally and affect oil and fuel availability.
Israel-Hezbollah Conflict Shakes Global Oil Prices
Recent fights, such as Israel’s actions against Hezbollah and its promises of retaliation against Iran, are causing price fluctuations.
Moreover, economic initiatives from China, like reductions in borrowing rates, are affecting global demand. In the US, a drop of 2.2 million barrels in gasoline inventories for the week ending October 11 is pushing prices higher due to reduced supply within the country.
